Hi I’m considering the Keto diet plan, any suggestions for a frustrated vegetarian trying to loose weight?

Are there medical reasons for limiting carbs? Because losing weight is about calories. Take in fewer calories than maintenance and you lose weight. Keto dieters experience a whoosh of water weight loss in the beginning, but this is not fat loss. Fat loss whether keto, low carb or lower calorie is the same rate for the same calories.
Join a low carbers group they might have some ideas. You can start by lowering your carbs to see if you like that style of eating: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum5 -

You didn’t answer the question of why you want to do keto specifically.
CICO is all that matters, no matter what diet plan you attempt, the ONLY way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories than you need to maintain.
I would imagine as a vegetarian, keto might be even harder as you are precluded from eating many of the main food sources that people following keto go with.0
