To be honest, there's a whole host of reasons as to why she may have gained weight instead of you.
I partly agree with you: your body needs carbs to function. However it also needs calories. You haven't said what exactly your low calorie diet involves. I've learned so much from the experts on this site - it's not enough to talk about a low-calorie diet. The fact is that sustainable weight loss requires a careful balance of nutrients so unless you get this right chances are your body's missing out on what it needs.
I suppose I can't say anything concrete until I know more about what exactly your low-calorie diet involves.
