Sound advice all around. Mike, I'm low carbing too! My good buddy Adam got in touch with me within hours of me trying to turn my weight problem over to God, and he told me about keto. I knew it was the right path for me to take. It is a total fat buster. Low carb and high fat combined with a caloric deficit...

Half the battle is in the mind -- the cravings. Carby, sugary food spikes your blood sugar and makes you hungry. It's a vicious cycle. On keto, I can happily say that for the first time since I was 9 years old, I am in control of when I eat.
Not only will it regulate your blood sugar and give your control back, once your body has depleted it's glycogen stores from carbs your body converts to using fat as fuel.
The easy, sure-fire way to go: Eat less than 25g carbs per day. Find your kcal daily energy expenditure (aka TDEE) using the calculator, and remove a solid 20% from that number, and that will be your daily intake. Of that number (let's assume it's 2000 calories), eat 70% of that in fats, 25% of that in protein, and 5% of that in carbs (or <25g per day). That's the ketogenic diet. It melts fat like jet fuel, and I've read several reports on it curing T2 Diabetes, PCOS, Metabolic Syndrome and even Seizure Disorder.
To paint a picture of this, I'll tell you my current daily micro-nutrients:
2000 calories (40% deficit), 28g carbs (I try to stick to <25), 171g fat, 138 protein (I try to stick closer to 100 if I can, because an excess of protein converts to glucose via nucleogensis and there goes your blood sugar)....
The only negative I seem to hear about the ketogenic diet is that it puts a strain on your kidneys. I've heard this point argued back and forth and frankly I don't know, but, I have ready many hundreds of testimonials since starting this diet from real every day people and they have all been amazing. I saw one guy lose 200 pounds in 9 months, doing a 40% caloric deficit, keto, and going to the gym 1 hour per day.
Please let me know if you're interested in learning more. I will be happy to tell you everything I know and agree with you in prayer that you are victorious.
