I agree with this. Add more fat, specifically animal fat into the diet. Also, if you’re eating a healthy diet of animal fats and low carbs, that’s the weight your body is supposed to be at. If you truly want to add weight, do it through weight training.

How much do you eat? At what times? How many grams of protein and how many of fat? What's your weight?

If you're looking for recommendations

For weight loss I'd aim for 0.5-1g of protein per pound of lean mass (this is higher than most recommendations) and a little fat until you reach satiety

For steady weight you want 80%+ of your daily calories from fat, and the remainder protein

Yeah, pretty much but the exact numbers depend on the person. Some do well on 70% fat. And most people should likely eat around the upper end of your recommendation. 0.5g translates to around 1lb of beef per day for a 70kg person. That's super low from what I know.
