Thats because carbs cause insulin release via an increase in blood sugar, and that insulin activates fatty acid synthase, the primary fat-making hormone of the body.
As these processes are exclusively dependant on blood sugar/carb intake, it may be clearer why carbs can indeed increase fat mass even in an hypocaloric situation.
