Fats and carbs = insulin = energy. The way energy is absorbed is different between carbs and fats. Protein = muscle repair. Im sure someone will likely correct me if im wrong, but this is the basic ins and outs and follows IIFYM (if it fits your macros). Calorie in vs calorie out will adjust your body fat % macros will help adjust your bodies composition.

To work out your current macro and caloric level, go to myfitnesspal and register. Fill in your details, and don't worry so much about the goals, but use it for the food tracking. Type in foods you buy from shops, search by brands etc. and put in your serving size and it will give you the macro/caloric value.
Some good info right here.

Counting marco's becomes crucially important when it comes to hitting more challenging goals, i.e. the last few kilos of a fat loss diet. It will also help make sure your not going too low with your calories and tanking your metabolism.

If you were tanking your metabolism by eating too little for too long, try eating maintenance calories for a couple weeks to reset your metabolism, then recommence with your diet, albeit with no more than a 500cal deficit from TDEE.
