Being in a caloric deficit of 3500kcals x [the amount of body fat pounds you lost] over a given period of time is responsible for losing [the amount of body fat pounts you lost] over that period, no matter what kind of food you eat. Keto might be responsible for you to adhere and stick to that caloric deficit though, and it's good that it worked for you, but that's not what drove your weight loss (anecdotally, I lost around 150lbs and never cut any food group out of my diet, I just track calories and proteins)
