2800 calories, about 160grams of protein,about 400 grams of carbs, about 110 grams of fat.

As someone else said, test your blood sugar with a glucometer.

With fat that high plus high carb, you may not be metabolising the sugar leading to fat deposition.

I doubt someone could cut with high fat and high carb.

Keeping carbs high, but cutting fats to 60, with more focus on the evening, plus making sure you metabolise the sugars by having FAO inhibitors in the morning (aspirin, niacinamide, pyrucet) and mild exercise .

Check that your blood glucose stats within range post meals. Even 50mg of aspirin can help, or biotin, niacin, etc. Plus a walk or slow cycle post meals also helps metabolise the sugar.

If you can’t metabolise the sugar, you will be sluggish due to glycolysis.

Fat gain after stopping exercise is about >95% due to excess calorie consumption and not due to exercise using the carbs. Your metabolism is more than capable at handling the carbs without exercise.
Maybe overtraining and too high cortisol can also play a role, but its minor.

It's not the carbs that make you fat, but when you're sedentary and eat carbs + fats your body will just store the fats that you eat.

I didn't say carbs make you fat. You're basically saying what I'm saying. Caloric excess, greater than what your body is able to burn up, will be stored as fat.
