We study the asymptotic behaviour of the approximation, Gelfand and Kolmogorov numbers of the compact embeddings of weighted function spaces of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin type in the case where the weights belong to a large class. We obtain the exact estimates in almost all nonlimiting situations where the quasi-Banach setting is included. At the end we present complete results on related widths for polynomial weights with small perturbations, in particular the sharp estimates in the case $\alpha=d(\frac 1{p_2}-\frac 1{p_1})>0$ therein.
