Throw weight around means to use your position or influence (most of the time ,unfairly) to get what you want or to behaveto show that a person is more important than other people.

I don't know whether this is a feature of Indian English, but in Br English - although we do have the idiom 'throw one's weight about/around' - this sentence seems to me to mean simply 'I didn't support either side' [with the implication that the support is of considerable weight].
