Wha does mean “bring all one’s weight to bear”? Tanks in advance! He grabbed her by the shoulders and brought all his weight to bear, pushing the girl to the floor.

It means he used the full weight of his body to complete the task. In this case, he leaned against the girl very hard, so that all of his body weight helped him knock her over. He is making her carry ("bear") his weight. I hope that helps!
