Very interesting to get ideas (as someone already used to counting macros). The default macro ratio seems a bit high in protein, personally I would recommend lowering a bit the carbs and upping the fat.
Also from my experience (lost 25kgs 15 years ago, fit) aiming to lower carbs in western diet usually has the side effect to forcing lower calories, not because you eat less carbs per se, but because a lot of food that can be abused and/or that are junk are carb based. I you aim for low carb and high fat/protein you automatically are looking at the better nutritional option if you eat out. And things like pasta or pizza are way too easy to refill for me, but with a plate of a protein and side vegetables I feel satiated after one serving.
I think keto is too extreme if you are not a nutrition geek, but just aiming at reducing carbs should get you a long way in losing weight and eating more healthy without overthinking it.
