Since you might need additional video to supplement your understanding of lineweight here one.

The dog as zero lineweight just saying.So it is not a good example to study for line weight but it would be fine to use to trace over and draw wrapping line to practice wrapping around a form which you don't seem to be doing on your own drawing which would show you understand form rather than only show you can draw curve line which is an other skill.You should not copy as much as you should create your own organic form and put wrapping line around them since it pretty much in my book a pre-requiste of understanding what overlap and that a principle use in line weight which mean you are probably not understanding what lineweight is yet. Once again don't fall for the trap of i am copying i am learning. You learn much more by doing a mix of copying and apply the concept to your own work.If you start to copy to much you are at the danger of shrinking your creative brain so you will need to find the right ratio.I don't blame you for not knowing what exercise might be of help to you and which exercise are your priority those are skill artist develop as they start to understand how the fundamental are interelated.
Line weight can be describe and use in various way .Line of various thickness on the same image or subject,Line that go from thin to broad or the reverse.Line that are thicker to indicate an object is sit on an other object.Line that are thinner to indicate the direction of a light source and line that are dark where line don't touch there edge.
It a subject matter that require a good understanding of how object sit in perspective as well as what are the light direction and strenght of light source.
I hope the video will provide you with a better understanding of what i am simply trying to highlight as key concept to observe for better line weight.
