I've just lost an online game on time (lichess.com).
I had 3 pawns and my opponent had just a knight.
I don't understand why it's not a draw.

It's not a draw because it's possible that you could lose if you played really badly and smothered yourself with the pawns.

Draw with insufficient material is covered in article 9.6:
The game is drawn when a position is reached from which a checkmate cannot occur by any possible series of legal moves, even with the most unskilled play.
With a given material, it is possible to construct a checkmate (assuming your cooperation or horrible blunders), so it is not a draw.
