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.

It can burn fat, but an overweight person is usually that way because they eat too much and are constantly replenishing their fat stores. When they’re losing weight they’re also not eating as much which is what your body also uses for energy. If you’re going through your fat stores faster than you can eat and digest food you’ll start to feel tired and hungry.
