HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Your diet sounds very good. It should also include no sodas or juices but mainly water.
You may want to take a look at the type of vegetables that you are using because some are restricted in a low carb diet.
If possible, the exercise should be increased. Optimally a person is advised to exercise at least 150 mins a week, which is normally broken down into 5, 30 mins periods of exercise a week.
I hope this helps
