When I was eating that much protein, it seemed the excess was just getting converted to glucose and making me crave more. Every body is different; I hope this new plan meets your goals. The support here is lovely.

I was thinking 60-80 grams of protein would be sufficient for you.

Are you calorie cycling as well, to keep metabolism from plummeting?

I am trying the Keto diet again...lol I tried it last month for about 3 weeks but as time went on I increased my carbs too much. So I am back to my original weight.

I actually was on Keto diet for about 3 weeks and lost 6 pounds in the first week but then gained 1 pound the following week and then gained 1 more pound the week after. Then the following week I started eating more carbs, I think I got discouraged and then just went back to eating normal. That was a month ago, so I gained back everything I lost and back to square one!!!!! It will be nice to have some support now !

It takes 4 to 6 weeks for your body to fully adapt to low carb and keto. Read "New Atkins for A New You" or "The Art and Science of Low Carb Living" so you understand the adaptation.
I use the Atkins app to track carbs, but I like FatSecret for setting targets and analyzing my daily intake.
I am doing low carb / keto because Type II diabetes runs in my family , and my last A1C was high / abnormal. I have been on LC (20 g per day) since mid August and keep losing a steady 1 lb per week without going hungry.

I agree with 187, your protein target may be too high. Try for
(protein + net carbs) = fat
and make sure your fats are a mix / balance of omega-3 and omega-6. Most people get too much polyunsaturated fats and not enough animal fats, butter, fish oil, or olive oil. And if you feel lightheaded or have problems with constipation, make sure you are getting enough sodium.
