تقليل من ارقام الميزان

Explanation:
This line means that adding applesauce instead of oil will make the dish healthier, and overall gain less weight.

So the scale is the weight scale for the person cooking.

و لإبقاء ميزانك خفيفاً

Explanation:
I believe "scale" here refers to the machine at your home that you use to weight yourself (الميزان الذي يقيس عليه الناس أوازن أجسامهم), so using the term "to keep the numbers on a scale down" here would literally mean to let your scale measure less weight when you use it, ie: to keep your own weight down and accordingly your weight on the scale when you weight yourself.
