When I meant fats, I meant it as a macronutrient. Those are very important, you'll never truly reach 0% body fat because that is dangerously deadly.
Likewise, reducing your macronutrients intake must be done carefully as you ideally need at least two
of those, preferably protein and one of the other 2, which is why keto diets have you eating fatty meat
and fatty vegetables with a nearly nonexistent low carb intake, the idea behind that diet is to make
your body run out of carb reserves so your body enters ketosis, the process start burning fat, your
body will continuously use the fat you eat as its main source of energy, sugars are very regulated in
that diet for the same reason. Meat by itself tends to have a lot of fat, you can guess the rest.
Depending on which diet you go for, you might want to add olive oil for your salad and whatnot.
Assuming you are taking the rice, then that is not keto, so lower your fat intake and keep the carbs under check while consuming enough protein from low fat sources, so you enter into periods of ketosis to burn fats.
Preferably, you should minimize the consumption of sugars in both cases, especially in keto diet.

The idea is to get you on calorie deficiency so your body starts burning fat, which is what you want, Your body will initially burn calories and will transform carbs/fats/proteins to get calories. Your body will often prioritize carbs over the other two.
Obviously, because your body will be burning more calories through exercis.
Although cardio isn't obligatory, I often recommend it purely because of other benefits which aren't easily found in other forms of training, especially if you are getting older, you don't have to over exert your body with training either
