>I eat more calories than before judging by the amounts of meat/butter/nuts that I eat.

So, judging by guessing. That is not how you judge. Measure your food and see how many calories you actually consume. It is fewer.

>An interesting article backing the low-carb high-fat diets that has links to the matching double blind studies

Which confirm that the people who successfully lose weight on low carb diets do so by caloric reduction. Might want to pay attention when posting sources that contradict you.

I can't find any of the points saying that low-carb diets restrict calories. The points mentioning calories are those:

"Every randomized controlled trial on low-carb diets shows that they:

- Reduce body fat more than calorie-restricted low-fat diets, even though the low-carb dieters are allowed to eat as much as they want (41, 42).

[...]

- Low carb diets are also easier to stick to, probably because they don’t require you to restrict calories and be hungry all the time. More people in the low-carb groups make it to the end of the studies "

Read the studies, not the random guy summarizing them as misleadingly as possible to suit his agenda.
