Default Premaintenance (and long term plan) help

Well, I followed induction to the letter, OWL to the letter so far, and THINK I'm doing Pre-Maintenance correctly, but could use some input.

I have 8.5 lbs left to lose. I'm down from a size 16 to a 6 in 55 lbs. I look fantastic, have been exercising diligently as well as chasing 1 3 yo and lugging 1 22 lb 8 mo old. I also get very little sleep. So I think I burn a good deal of calories every day.

I never really get full. Ever. And Ketosis didn't really aid in the appetite suppression for me this time either.

My current carb level is 50, I lost inches and lbs at every level consistently.

I'm having a hard time modifying my menus to include both more carbs AND less fat, because then I'm still truly hungry or at least hungry sooner. When I add carbs and a bit of fat (I've never been "gobs" of mayo or "drenched" in butter), I know I'm over on the calorie count, but it looks like I'm eating more what long term is going to look like, y'know? And I'm still losing well.

Any thoughts? I guess I don't have spec questions, just wondering some BTDT from those I trust. Most IRL say either go back to "normal" LOL! People are so weird!!!
