Different Macros for different body types?

Is there any logic to / studies on eating for your specific body type? I have been really good about keeping my macros at 45/30/25 (c/p/f). The last couple weeks I have NOT been watching what I eat and have been eating a LOT of fried foods and fats (fired chicken, fried okra, french fires, chicken parmesan, potato chips ... all of which I would typically NEVER eat). and so my macros look closer to: 35/25/40 (c/p/f) ... and I'm losing weight! Not a crazy amount, about 1.5 / week, but I had basically been maintaining my weight for the last few months - so 1.5/week is high for me and nothing else in the past has done this THIS fast...
So.... whats the deal?? These are NOT the "good" fats for you, and thats the only thing thats changed about my routine. I notice that I'm not as hungry for snacks if I eat a meal high in fats (not to include dairy... I’m talking deep fried fatty goodness), but even though I'm not snacking as much my overall calorie intake is still the same (1600-1800).
Just looking to see if anyone had any insight - I DO NOT plan on keepin this fried food diet up, I was just curious if there were thoughts on what it might be, or if maybe I SHOULD be upping my fats (good fats...) and lowering my carbs. When i work out (~3x per week), I do a lot of cardio and calestenics - not so much heavy lifting.
