Firstly, you round up as many ants as you can.

Then, find the ant in charge. Get this ant to find the cleverest ants, with the best engineering minds.

Now we look for the ant organising all of the others. Remove this ant. Call it the project manager.

Now, we have to implement our plan. The ant in charge is to brief all of the other ants that they are to design and build ant sized weighing scales.

There is no need for them to mine or refine any raw materials. Humans can provide this.

So when the scales are finished, weigh an 'average' ant on the new scales. You will have to calibrate the scales.

To calibrate the scales, take 1000 ants, and weigh them on some sensitive kitchen scales. Divide the answer by 1000. This is the weight of an ant you can use to calibrate your tiny scales.

It depends on the kind of ant. There are many kinds of ants that are red or reddish, and many of the species are called "red ants". Most of them are workers that would weigh about one to five milligrams each, but some very small species would weigh only a few hundred micrograms or so and others maybe tens of milligrams. But in each species the queen is likely to weigh a lot more, in some species hundreds of times more.
