You're asking good questions. But I think you're looking for a simple, one-size-fits-all answer when there's not one.

The best I can understand, is from high to low (carb/fat): good, bad, good (high carb: good; high fat: bad; keto or close: good).
Not so fast.

As someone pointed out, every body is different. You might want to look into the differences in INSULIN, the driver of fat accumulation. With a well-functioning metabolism, the ratios of carbs, fat, and protein are far less critical. "In between" works fine, if the diet consists of real food with nutritional value.

Not everyone is insulin resistant. But those who are have a greater chance of accumulating fat and a far greater challenge shedding it, unless they take steps to permanently modify the diet, both carbohydrate and total energy consumption.

YMMV.
