Why is it considered rude to ask someone about their weight?(and it seems to be especially rude to ask that to a woman?)

I mean, if someone asked me about my weight I would've just told them how much I weigh and wouldn't even bat an eye about it.

On a similar note, at work, when people ask me how I'm doing on the particular task I'm currently working on; I tell them if it's going well or not and say something of interest about it.

But I never seem to remember to ask them how it's currently going for them.

Is it considered rude to not ask them the same question after asking me?

Why is anybodys weight your business? What reason is it pertinent for you to know?

And, while I wouldnt say not asking back is rude, its more that it would be polite if you did.
