This might be a stupid question, I might indeed be stupid. But what is the actual process going on inside my body at 290lbs when I go hiking for example?

Your body gets energy breaking things, when certain molecules break, they release energy that your body uses to move your muscles for example. Fat is just a reserve of those molecules. So when you need a lot of energy, and don’t have any in that moment, like hiking, you break down fat to gain energy. You can also break down protein (muscles) but they give less energy, so that’s why fat is used first.
