Idk... if you're seeing more/new definition in your abs it sounds like it's working. Your main issue is getting in enough fat, right? No hunger, sleep or energy issues, or "keto flu?"
If you are still doing resistance training, is 90g protein going to be enough to maintain your lean muscle over time, or grow bigger if that's your goal on keto?
You will definitely not go into ketosis with 30% carbs.
Some people 30g of carbs can knock people out of ketosis (which sucks because you have to go through the keto flu again). Dont forget fruit has tons of natural sugars in it which will knock you out as well.
Although, I am always curious why people go through such strenuous diets like that, numerous studies have concluded that no one diet is better than another at burning fat when calories in vs calories out is matched. If you find yourself more satiated on Keto or any other diet, and it works better for you, do it. If not, just eat at a calorie deficit and hit your macros.
In my experience, doctors and nutritionists are poor sources for information when it comes to people into bodybuilding. They are used to dealing with the average public and gives them generic information, which is also given to you.
I'd be surprised if you can get into ketosis at 30% carb, but it might be a great macro split for you anyway. I like the increase in protein.
I can stay in ketosis with 180g protein, 60-70g fat, and incidental (20-30g) carb per day. No keto flu. Able to build muscle. Never hungry. Hmu if interested in details of what I eat to hit those macros
