Fat is stored and metabolized all the time. Hormones like insulin determine at which rate these processes occur. When more fat is available then the body needs, more fat is stored then released.

Btw most of the fat we store is from our diet. Converting carbohydrates to fat is ineffective and only contributes a very small amount under normal conditions.
