Haha. Lawls. Dr's say I should weight 180-85 for 33 and 6 ft tall. I haven't been able to get to that low of body weight since I had to be on the renal diet for kidney dialysis and transplant. You know how hard that is. 1000 calories per day or less, NO SALT, NO POTASSIUM.... Pffh that right there cuts out about 90% of most food.
This is an issue I very rarely see brought up. Some foods are simply traps, they appear healthy on the surface, like fruit juice, but as soon as you look at the labels you see they're loaded with sugars. And it's an easy trap to fall into because most people assume that anything with fruit in would be healthy by default. You don't have the time to scrutinise all the labling on everything you buy at a supermarket, and the manufacturers know that. Unless you're already in the know, you're going to take the short-cut and assume the fruit based product is a healther alternative.
Obesity is a problem that needs to be tackled on multiple levels. Education is a key part of the solution that seems to be constantly overlooked. Nutrition is complicated, which is why there are so many contradictory studies out there, but it's not magic. I firmly believe that the average person can wrap their head around the basics required to make good food choices without the need to overcomplicate it.
As someone who's tried a Keto diet, once I got over that initial hurdle I felt great. No more highs and lows throughout the day, very few cravings and so on. I wouldn't go as far as to say I felt unstopable, but I did feel pretty good about myself.
I saw a huge improvement in my endurance too, I could run practically all day if I felt like it. The downside however was that I struggled to do activities that required explosive bursts of energy, like sprinting or lifting weights. I was noticably slower when it came to running the length of a rugby pitch. Sometimes your body just needs sugars on hand to perform well.
While it does have some benefits, particularly for those with diabetes, it's also not the right choice for everyone.
I'm 175lbs at 6'0 myself. Just 9% body Fat too. Muscle does way more than Fat, but not to the extent that it will add hundreds of pounds to your weight. Most people severely overestimate how much althletic body types weigh.
Hell, it doesn't even put me in the unhealthy BMI range!

Don't forget to click on which gender first
Eh sorry gonna have to disagree with you. Fat people are not hot and those magazines and shows or anything else that tries to promote that is just bull. Being fat is unhealthy and and lazy. Even worse is when those people have children who are also obese at a very young age and being set up for a lifetime of health problems they are not even aware of yet because they have shitty parents. I'm not disdainful of fat people and don't hate anyone who is fat by any means, I just think they lead a lazy lifestyle and most of those people that I know are also lazy in other aspects of their life.

"Ketosis" is not the only way fat is burned (consider someone eating 1200 calories a day but 100g of carbohydrates; they will burn quite a lot of fat but remain out of ketosis), so I find that claim to be bizarre... Maybe you meant ketogenesis, and even then I would suggest reviewing the β-oxidation pathway and what it feeds into. Even without dieting, we are constantly burning fat but typically aren't in or headed towards ketosis. If we couldn't burn fat outside of ketosis, we would store every molecule of fat we eat and would all be blimps.
My comment about "just work at it" was not about setting public policy, but for the individual to consider. We could just shame and scare them into healthfulness, as was the case for the tobacco industry in the U.S., but I am not in the business of setting public policy.
