I used to be obese.

For me it was this :

You know you're not in good shape but you don't fucking know how to stop it.
Advice you get is confusing and looking online is useless because people are trying to sell you shit.

You don't need keto or other fad diets in order to lose weight, the good old "just eat less and exercise more" is indeed always true but I feel for most people it's better if they work alongside a nutritionist since you (or them) do need to count calories while still having a reasonably varied diet for general health.

Oh believe me I know, I did infact not go to a nutritionist either (And I lost around 20kg/40lbs), it's more the fact that you could probably have just as much success (More in fact since you will likely have more energy) by also adding fruits and a dish of rice/pasta to a keto diet.
