Blubber is fat. Fat provides insulation to any body. Wales have plenty of fatty blubber that insulates their bodies. With the body insulated, their internal workings are able to maintain a constant temperature as the outside temperature is not an issue.

They need to feed off their blubber. If adult humpbacks found food, they would eat. Young calves feed off their mother's milk.

Just as with other mammals, when you feed, or engorge yourself, you will gain weight, and with humpback and other whales, weight gain is in the form of blubber, which serves as an insulation, but also is caloric storage for them and gives energy. Those whales who migrate live off their blubber during the long periods of no food intake, which could be 6 months or more, depending on the whale.
