Have can be used as a main verb:

I have lunch at 1:00pm.

This sentence is present simple. It is about something that is true at the moment or possibly something that I do again and again ie a habit.

The verb phrase have had is used to make present perfect:

I have had lunch.

This sentence is present perfect and is about something that has happened (completed) in the recent past and has possibly has some significance now in the present. Have is an auxiliary verb had is the main verb

Do you want lunch?

No thanks I have had lunch.
