> About 8 months ago I started really watching how much sugar and highly processed carbs I eat (not a keto diet, just not going crazy with pasta and sweets).

I would assume that this is the biggest contributor. Being consciously mindful of what you eat and how much you eat is extremely effective. But I say this for the benefit of others, and not to diminish your own efforts; if a regimen is working for you, then don't worry about analyzing and just keep at it! :)

The problem for me, who intermittently fast for quite long time now, is that it is not possible to stand the level of sweetness in many, many foods. And for other foods you begin to notice mood changes. So, I guess, the sugar and carbs get ruled automagically, when you eat being really hungry.
