You won't lose faster on keto (except for some initial water weight), you lose faster when you eat less, but not too little (so you end up overeating becuse you're hungry).3

Fat loss comes from a calorie deficit. Some people find eating keto, paleo, etc. helps them stick to their deficit, but you don’t lose any faster outside of extra water weight at the beginning. And with only a month? You’re probably better off buying a new dress. What are your stats?4

I have been doing keto for a couple of months. I am down 20 but it's slow and steady. If you are in ketosis you could try a fast for a few days or intermittent fasting to drop weight quicker. It's easier in keto because you are already in fat burning mode from restricting carbs and loading up on fat so you aren't as hungry. That's the only tweak I can think of on revving up the weight loss. Good luck.7

Speed of fat loss is down to the size of calorie deficit - not the type of foods eaten.

As others said, keto will not help you lose faster, unless you experience more satiety and find it easier to stick to a deficit eating that way. If you like Paleo foods you can continue eating them while keto, just fewer of the carbs.
You will often lose more water weight with keto but that mainly happens if you do not increase sodium to replace the electrolytes you lose. If you take care to get your salt, which is safer and healthier, you will not lose much water.2
