The urine is a tell-tale sign you are in ketosis. I would get keto-sticks to be sure. In my experience ketosis varies a bit from person to person. I usually stick at 60g of carbs or less on non workout days. I may bump it up to 70-100g on workout days

Your fear of too much fat or too much protein is being a bit too cautious.

You do need a surplus of protein in ketosis. Gluceogenesis is more of a worry if you do not have another source of fuel besides protein and you do (healthy fats).

Forcing your body to use fats as the primary fuel and skipping over the kreb cycle will assure you burn more fuel just eating and sitting. So, I would not fear a higher fat intake.

You will want to keep a journal of your grams per each macro daily as well as a journal on your weight, body fat, body tape measurements. If you become stagnate with fatloss, simply adjust the macros (also watch your activities throughout the day)

Keep us posted. Goodluck
