You don't put "the" if you're talking about weekends in general e.g "I love my job so much that at /on the weekends I feel a bit depressed."

cf "Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English", Third Edition.
I mean 'a' or 'the' before the "difference" in my question :)

Could you please explain to me a/the difference between "at weekends" and "on weekends"?
