Carbs don’t make you fat. Only too many total calories does. As long as you're not eating above your calorie maintenance level, a higher carb intake won't magically cause fat gain. And if you're in a deficit, you'll continue to lose fat. The timing isn't an issue either, since it ultimately comes down to total energy in versus out over the day as a whole.
