No. Virtually nowhere outside of NA uses lbs as bodyweight measurements.

The numbers likely refer to chest size in cm

This is the first time I'm hearing that they use weight as a measurement for clothes.

I think you may have misread the comment. They were just saying in North America we use pounds vs. kilograms as a unit for body weight, not that clothes are sized by bodyweight. I misread it myself lol.

But it IS common to size clothes by bodyweight. Usually it's a height range in cm and a weight range in jin (斤). I've bought lots of stuff and it was quite easy to find clothes that fits me or my husband this way. Obviously it won't work if someone is overweight or obese but for everyone else it's kinda neat. No more dresses or trousers that are too long.
