With 40-60 grams of carbs a day you are aprocahing Keto-Zone but are not taking enough fats to offset the low carbs.
The result is that the body will burn muscle first (as all extra muscle above survival level is not needed, and then fats).
With this carb intake your are inbetween sufficient carbs and keto-diet.
If you want to go the carb way, increase your carb intake, or even better cycle it (2 higher, 1 day low), so as to give your body the sign and incentive to keep the fire up and burn fat.
If the carbs are too low not only will your training suffer but it will also sign the body to store carbs and lower metabolism.
I also like low carbs to get dry but we all need sufficient amount to be able to do just that.
For me worked 2 days 250 grams and 1 day 75 grams.
This way you keep surprising the body and keeping metabolism up and ensure that you have enough energy to train to keep and develop the muscles more.
