How does the ratio matter given the calorie limit is constan
If my maintenance calorie limit is, say 2000 per day, and I maintain that without caring about the ratio of carbs/protein/fat, does it matter?

And my net intake is around…

Working out in the evening
I recently read an article that the best time for fat loss workout is in the morning with empty stomach as that will directly burn your body fat, where as working out later in the day will burn the calories you consumed that day.
