Lost ~35lbs eating high fat medium protein last year. Ate as much as I wanted and never felt hungry. Key is to eliminate carbs and any type of sugar the majority of days. Couple times a month you can break for special events, but get back on.
Have kept it off with minimal effort.
For what it’s worth, there is not a dietary requirement for carbs.

But to be fair, the gut bugs in us help our immune system and our brain function and moods. And they eat carbs. They eat fiber that we can’t get without ingesting a few healthy carbs. So we must have some resistant starch, in the form of root vegetables or rough grains in small quantities every day. We must keep them happy because they do the same for us.
