Nutrition percentages

Today when tracking my total meals I realized that I ate about 60% fat, 30% carbs and 10% protein. If I stayed within my usual calories which is around 1500 calories a day (I'm female) and I exercise almost every day (treadmill) do you think a person can lose weight with these percentages? The calories aren't too high but the fat is high... can I still lose weight? Thanks for any input.

    High fat isn't a big deal, but the low protein is.

    Jack up your protein. If you ditch anything, make it the carbs.

    Try to get your protein at least up to 20%.
