I've been doing keto for right at 6 weeks now and my weight-loss has been going great. Due to my size and pain threshold, I haven't been working out a lot, but I'm down enough now that I've added more cardio, as well as strength training. In the past when I've lost a lot of weight I ate high protein because I was spending 3 hours in the gym. I will be doing a lot of strength training, integrated with my cardio, to keep my skin from sagging as much as it normally would with significant weight-loss.
With that being said, do any of you still lose weight if you up your protein? Right now I'm doing 94 protein, 112 fat, and under 20 carbs, and staunch under 1500 cals. I'd like to do like 120-125 protein, but that would lessen my fat intake. I'm scared of messing up my weight-loss. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

Your plan sounds awesome, increase protein, reduce fat, that should work great!2

It’s not the fat that makes you lose weight. You don’t need over 100g of fat. You do need protein to supper your activity.
I don’t even work out and I easily eat 100-120g a day. I never add fat. The meat already comes with fat.2
