Sounds as if your Lock Screen settings are causing this. This Apple Support article describes how to change your Lock Screen settings: Change Lock Screen settings on Mac - Apple Support


In particular, you'll want to adjust the Turn Display Off settings (one is for while your MacBook is on battery, the other for when it's plugged in to power).
