Post Husband confused about low carb eating

My husband finds it frustratingly hard to comprehend the low carb and losing weight way of eating.
I'm crazy from trying to answer a question he asks.
Here goes if anyone has an answer he may accept.

Can you eat as much fat as you want with low carbing and still lose weight? If you take in more fat than you burn, is that fat stored?

I keep telling him that if you are eating the correct amount of carbs, you will burn the fat. But he continues with wondering 'but what if you take in more than you burn?' He seems to be confused about the fact that you are eating high fat and not having to watch the amount.

Can anyone suggest a simple way to explain this.
He is a systems analyst so that may be why he can't comprehend the simplicity of it!
