no. it doesn't. fat comes from an excess. that's literally what fat is. your body burns calories even if you're sedentary just to keep you alive and your organs functioning. if you're 'not eating enough' then all the calories you do eat will be immediately going straight to all your necessary bodily functions

if those calories are turning in to fat, it's because your body can't use them. they are extra. starvation mode doesn't really work the way you think it does. it doesn't make starving people suddenly pack on pounds when they're about to starve to death, it's a process the body goes through of dropping your metabolism to dangerous levels and shutting down your least necessary bodily functions so it can make the few calories you are getting stretch further for the things that are really important

it generally takes an excess of 3500 calories to make 1 pound of fat. let that sink in. that's not me bullshitting you, that's hard factual science

you're either not taking something in to account, you're a secret eater, or you binge every so often and aren't saying so
