I've dropped almost 40lb thanks to keto, a hint of a 6pack is even surfacing. But I've stalled.
To improve body comp, should I continue this diet or perhaps try carb cycling instead.

Carbs aren't the issue, calories are. Are you counting calories as accurately as possible (i.e. using a food scale to weigh everything)?

Carbs will help with increasing insulin levels for putting on more muscle mass. It will also help increase water retention and hide that hint of a six pack.

Some find that switching macros can help with a stall, others find that increasing carbs hinders weight loss. Same with playing with calories. I found that an increase in calories sometimes leads to a whoosh. For others, not so much.

How long is this stall? Has it been at least a few weeks, or months, at the same weight? If not, I would just keep doing whatever has been working.
