Pounds is force, newtons is also force. You even converted it correctly; you wouldn’t be able to do that with like grams or any other mass unit. The only reason we use pounds and mass interchangeably is that we all experience pretty similar gravity all over the world, so a certain mass will generally exert the same amount of force regardless where it is on the Earth’s surface or what it’s made of.
