How many macros would you suggest for a lower amount of carbs? Not to drastic but enough to help my weight loss along! Just enough to get into ketosis.

Lowering carbs and/or being in ketosis doesn't help your weight loss along. You lose weight by consuming less calories than you expend. How many carbs you eat doesn't make any difference, except for a loss in water weight from cutting carbs.6

To add to the excellent reply above, getting into ketosis actually means you're drastically reducing carbs.1
