Code:
mob
    icon = 'mob.dmi'

    var
        HP = 100
        MaxHP = 100
        EXP = 0
        MaxEXP = 1000
        str = 5
        MP = 10
        Level = 1

    verb
        Weak_Attack(mob/M as mob in get_step(src,usr.dir))
            set category="Skills"
            F_damage(usr, rand(1,2), "#ff0000")
            flick(pick("1","3","2"),usr)
            M:DeathCheck()
            usr:LevelUp()
            sleep(10)
            ..()
        Medium_Attack(mob/M as mob in get_step(src,usr.dir))
            set category="Skills"
            F_damage(usr, rand(5,6), "#ff0000")
            flick(pick("5","6","7"),usr)
            M:DeathCheck()
            usr:LevelUp()
            sleep(50)
            ..()
        Strong_Attack(mob/M as mob in get_step(src,usr.dir))
            set category="Skills"
            F_damage(usr, rand(10,20), "#ff0000")
            flick(pick("72 Pound","10","NewGorillaCross"),usr)
            M:DeathCheck()
            usr:LevelUp()
            sleep(100)
            ..()

    proc
        DeathCheck()
            if(src.HP <=0)
                src.loc = locate(1,1,1)
                src << "You have respawned."

        LevelUp()
            if(usr.EXP==usr.MaxEXP)
                usr.EXP=0
                usr.MaxEXP+=rand(5,7)
                usr.str+=rand(5,10)
                usr.Level+=1
                usr.MaxHP += rand(10,15)
                usr << "You have leveled up!"


Problem description:

well you can try code like this 
mob
    verb
        Weak_Attack(mob/M as mob in get_step(src,usr.dir))
            set category="Skills"
            if(usr.Attacking)   return
            
            F_damage(usr, rand(1,2), "#ff0000")
            flick(pick("1","3","2"),usr)
            M:DeathCheck()
            usr:LevelUp()
            usr.Attacking=1
            spawn(4) if(usr) usr.Attacking=0
            ..()

In response to Hassanjalil
Hassanjalil please, stop trying to help people, and learn how to program yourself before you go about helping others. When helping someone with a post you should solve the desired question (Which you did, but your example was incorrect) , and upon noticing other errors point out all of the problems with his code that could potentially be a problem in the future, but seeing the snippet you added into it, I can tell you're not to that level yet yourself.

Cowgraft, As Hassan has pointed out you will need a temporary variable.
For example:
mob/var/tmp/attacking
mob/verb/attack()
 if(attacking) return
 //... continue


But you have many other flaws in your coding aswell, such as usr abuse, colon abuse.

Also, Look up the .. proc in the reference.

mob
    var/tmp/attacking=0
    verb
        Weak_Attack(mob/M as mob in get_step(src,dir))
            set category="Skills"
            if(attacking) return
            attacking=1
            F_damage(src, rand(1,2), "#ff0000")//Displays the number of rand(1,2). I noticed you don't take any health away from the mob being attacked. So this would be purely visual. Would this (in comments below, perhaps be what you were trying?
            /*
            var/a=rand(1,2)
            M.HP-a
            F_damage(M,a,"#ff0000")//Display it over the one who got hit.
            */
            flick(pick("1","3","2"),src)
            M.DeathCheck()
            LevelUp()
            sleep(10)//Assuming you want a 1 second delay
            attacking=0
