Question Intermittent Fasting necessary?

Doing this low carb lifestyle again, at age 53, better mindset this time I think. My only successes were low carb oriented, trying to lose weight, often not trying at all over the last 25 years. I have an Instagram and everyone is doing what they call keto, which is kind of like Atkins induction until success is achieved. With less protein, added coconut oil or mct oil and from what many successful people are sharing, intermittent fasting. There are many happy stories on this forum I've read over the years. I remember some of you skipping breakfast but intermittent fasting was not an actual thing. Do you think it's necessary to skip a meal or narrow down one's eating window to 8 hours to lose the pounds? I can see how it might be great for breaking stalls but isn't a long term fasting program just calorie restriction made easy by ketosis?
