You won’t gain net weight my that mechanism though, you’ll just grow more dense. Mass is a conserved quantity, so if you’re gaining more muscle mass than you’re losing fat, that extra mass is coming from somewhere. That somewhere is your food.
Care to elaborate on the conserving mass principle? Is that your opinion, a physics principle, or an actual thing related to weight loss and mucle generation on the human body?
It’s one of the most fundamental principles of chemistry and physics. It was discovered by Antoine Lavoisier in the late 18th century, and you can only meaningfully break it during nuclear reactions (fusion/fission). If any container is gaining mass, it is either a dying star or there is more mass entering the container than leaving it. This also applies to the human body: If you are gaining mass, it is because there is more going in than out, otherwise you’ve broken pretty much all known physics (or you’re about to go supernova).
You exercise, and in doing that you both burn fat and at the same time build muscle.
Assuming you are on a deficit diet, but not so much to prevent your body to build muscle mass (or die), can you elaborate on why you assume fat loss must equal muscle gain in terms of mass?
To me, and without further actual data, it’s perfectly reasonable to assume that you can lose less weight on fat tissue than the acquired weight in muscle tissue.
You could very well be doing a tipe of training that burn little fat while building muscles, for example.
That is achievable…
Work out while very fat.
Fat loss brings less weight loss than acquired muscles, that are much more dense.
And this can happen very well in a calorie deficit diet.
Its a specific situation, but happens all the time when you start exercising, and people get confused, why I am gaining weight?
Just converting fat to muscle (so to speak, ofc)

Where do you think the extra mass is coming from if not from food or water?
Is that just your opinion?

Edit: a few typos
I’m not making crazy claims that need defending. I certainly didn’t make that claim.
You are claiming it’s possible to gain weight by building muscle on a calorie deficit so any burden of proof is entirely on you
