Because he's talking to Mary. Mary hasn't conceived yet. The Angel visited Mary when Elizabeth was now in her sixth month. Which the Angel tells Mary this at the end of their encounter and Mary runs to see Elizabeth.
None of this of course proves Jesus wasn't conceived in March, it just proves that this specific passage doesn't state he was. As I stated previously, we know Jesus was born 6 months after John the Baptist. If we find out when John was born we will know when Jesus was born. And also as a previously stated, John was born in March and thus Jesus was born in September.
What is the basis for John being born in March?
