Efficient matrix multiplication with weights

Let A and B be two matrices, say square NxN matrices. Ordinary matrix multiplication A*B implements (A*B)_{ij} = Sum_k A_{ik} B_{kj}. Is there an efficient way in Matlab to implement a weighted version of this product, where we have a matrix of weights W and we want to do :
Weighted(A*B)_{ij} = Sum_k A_{ik} B_{kj} W_{i-j,k}
(let's say here that A and B are triangular so that only i>=j need be considered).
How can I efficiently express Weighted(A*B), avoiding, if possible, for loops and the like ? I would like to keep everything vectorialized / use only matrix products and elements wise products etc.

I would like to keep everything vectorialized / use only matrix products and elements wise products etc.
Even if for-loops are faster?
Also, are A and B Toeplitz as well as triangular?
Actually the fastest option is the best so you are right if the for loops are faster I would use them. In general A and B are not Toeplitz. In applications A and B are rather large (say 1000x1000) so memory usage could also be an issue.

A more memory efficient solution is as follows. It has a loop, but is still highly vectorized.
Wt=W.';
At=A.';
T=toeplitz(1:N,[1,zeros(1,N-1)]);
result=zeros(N);
for i=1:N
result(T==i)=sum( At(:,1:end+1-i).*Wt(:,i).*B(:,i:end) ,1);
end

Thank you for your codes ! I think this second proposition will be more suited to my applications as I am worried about the memory usage. I will try to see how fast this is but it seems it will be much faster than with all the nested for loops of the naive approach.
You're welcome. If it works as you need it to, though, please Accept-click the answer.

Using sepblockfun() from,
T=toeplitz(1:N);
WW=W.';
WW=reshape(WW(:,T), N^2,N);
BB=repmat(B,N^2,1);
AA=repmat( reshape(A.',[],1) ,1,N^2);
result=sepblockfun(AA.*WW.*BB, [N,1] , 'sum' ); %

For N=1000, you would need a lot of RAM for this to work. You might be able to mitigate RAM requiements by using single floats inputs. The result could still be obtained in doubles with,
result=sepblockfun(AA.*WW.*BB, [N,1] , @(x,d)sum(x,d,'double') ); %
