How is my sharing my experience not an anecdote?

>a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person.

>keto is so effect [for me] that it feels like a hack [to me].

This is literally an anecdote.

You made a statement about "keto diets" in the plural, and "for control of obesity" in general. An anecdote would be you relating which of this plurality of keto diets you tried and what results you found with each of them. "Keto diets [...] are effective" is a conclusion one may or may not take away from such anecdotes, but it is not itself an anecdote.
