Hi Kulsu! I’m definitely not an expert but I’ll tell you what I think. Are you drinking 80-100 oz per day of water? Water will help with many aspects including constipation. There isn’t much talk on here about water, but I think it’s really important. You should drink at least half your body weight in water oz. Your carbs seem a little high. I don’t believe in a low carb diet, but do think that healthy whole grain carbs give you fuel for workouts, gaining muscle and losing weight. Carbs tend to hold a lot of calories so be sure to measure and record your food. Healthy nuts will help with good fats and add good carbs. Fats tend to be the fun calories. I think people like Keto because of the fun in eating bacon, cheese, and creams. I try to limit the fun calories, but have added some cheese from time to time and occasional high fat meats like bacon, steak l, and chorizo. Finally, you should really only hope to lose a pound per week at most. Don’t get disappointed if it’s less or more. Just stick to it and you’ll see great results. My weight didn’t change much this week, but I see the difference in my physique.  

I’d add that you could try adding 200 to 300 calories to jump your metabolism. Just try to see how it affects your body. The most important thing is that you don’t stop.  

Looks wonderful!!
