Even on keto, you need to maintain a calorie deficit, so if you are not burning 2000 calories a day you will gain weight either way.

The advantage of keto is that you will be hungry less often and less tempted to cheat on your diet. The disadvantage is that you *must* stick to your carb limit at all times for keto to be effective, otherwise it will not work. With normal calorie deficit, you could have a “cheat” meal and as long as your caloric intake was balanced out you’d be ok
