The hints are also given in the question. Here, let's see what does these sentences mean :-

$\bullet$You measure my life in hours and I serve you by expiring

- As we know that a candle, if we use it continuously can end quickly. So it is given that we measure a candle's life in an hour. And a candle's role is to obviously serve us as we lit it when the power is gone or when there's dark.

$\bullet$I’m quick when I’m thin and slow when I’m fat.

- We usually see if the candle has more wax or it is fat as mentioned in the riddle , it doesn't expire quickly while the candles with less wax or when it is thin, burns up quickly as compared to the candle of more wax.

$\bullet$The wind is my enemy.

- This is the biggest hint of the riddle. If we think of this line, we will get the answer that's it's fire. Wind is the enemy of fire. But it isn't the answer. As fire doesn't suits for all the hints, the answer is not fire. When the candle burns, it dampens when the wind blow. Hence, the answer is candle.
