When we need energy, can’t the body just burn the stored fat? Isn’t that the whole point of stored fat? Why will we feel hungry, weak, lightheaded, etc. at all? I understand if the body doesn’t have enough fat (if you’re super skinny), it would make sense to feel hungry, but I don’t understand why would that be the case if there’s enough fat to go around.

Because your body is not used to burning fat given a steady supply of carbs in your diet.
Carbs are a fast source of fuel, fat is slower to burn.
Switch to a low-carb diet (keto or any other) and you will stop having these week/lightheaded episodes.
