Even if I stay at 1500 kcal/day my body will adjust to only needing 1500 kcal/day and it will not be enough to lose weight.
I naturally don’t eat a lot of carbs. No pasta. No real sweets. No sofa. No bread (unless I grab a wrap when on the road). I know I need to increase my calorie intake (I stay around 1500-1600) to keep my metabolic rate but I don’t know if I need to do it with a Keto Diet or if just naturally do a high fat/moderate protein/lower carb diet but still keep my calories restricted enough to lose weight.

Most of my research says basically forget about calories and just focus on keeping carbs as low as possible. If you are hungry, eat...< the general jist of it.
