I've been lifting light weights (5 pounds) to lose fat for 25 reps in 2 sets but my muscles does not ache like the way it does before so does that mean I should add more reps to my sets or just stay to 25 since I'm just aiming to cut some weight?

Is it okay to continue lifting this way?

It's not going to be enough for most things. You will plateau very fast especially in the movements for larger muscle groups.
You can keep doing higher and higher reps - but once you get over about 20-30, it will at some point stop becoming effective.
Either get more equipment, join a gym or do what you can to adjust: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/no-gym/

This. You cant make much progress with one set of weights. Also what lifts are you doing? Just curls? You can build a decent workout with just a few sets of db's and a couple lifts so I'd make sure to be dong lunges, curls, tricep extensions, DB OH press, fly's, and rows.
Time to get back into it
