Would increasing protein and decreasing carbs help fat loss?

More specifically, I am wondering if I up my protein to about 120g and keep my carb cap about 20g will aid in fat loss specifically during weight loss. I know that calories in -> calories out is the ultimate, but I'm wanting to focus on what macros might help with keeping muscle and losing weight.
I have some conditions that don't really allow me to do heavy weight training due to joint subluxations and whatnot (plus living in a place that doesn't have a nearby gym unless I drive 2 hours away every single day which is just impossible with my schedule) and I do not have access to a dietitian or nutritionist who will not just tell me to eat the standard SAD diet. They don't listen to me and have zero clue what EDS even is. My neurologist has checked off for me that I need to eat a high meat-based diet, since vegetables cause pretty bad digestive upset and anything that's really carby in general will give me massive long-lasting migraines that cause weird eyesight and hearing problems. Since nixing carbs, I've not had migraines at all. Only the occasional mild headache. I do include a lot of beef/deer organs in my diet as well and try to go for the fattier meat cuts, since I read in a lot of places that in ketosis fat is the primary source of energy.

This might be a rather dumb question, but I'd like some insight from people who might know more than I do about this topic.
