Im pretty lean now but I still carry at least 5-8# of truly useless fat around. When I was heavy, I had 10x as much extra fat. Look at it this way: my body has 30,000 calories sitting on my ass and belly, ready to use for energy. 30,000. When I was fat, I had 300,000 calories to spare. Thats 200 days of starvation capability. Humans are designed to hunt and kill and forage. We didnt need more than a week, at best, of fat storage.
