I am from India,who has shifted to the UK. It’s been 3-4 years, however UK summers feel unbearable compared to Indian summers. My skin feels like it’s burning at 25° in the UK but 25° in India is so much more pleasant. I understand that it’s closer to the sun since the earth is slightly tilted, but make it make sense that my skin burns while in the UK, but I’m just really sweaty in India, without the burning sensation.

Others have answered the question really well but just to debunk the point about Earth’s tilt: only facing towards the sun makes part of earth closer. For example, England is closer to the sun at English midday than Australia is, but only because we’re facing the sun.
The tilt causes seasons because of how direct the sunlight is on the atmosphere above a country. During winter in the northern hemisphere, it is tilted away from the sun so England isn’t further, the radiation is just more spread out. Happy to clarify if needed!
