I have to agree with others who state that you aren't eating enough. My partner is eating 1750 calories per day on a low carb diet. She consumes 80g of carbs a day max, usually 50. She is 5'8 and losing weight at a rate of about 2lbs per week. She is non diabetic and this is deliberate.
In my book, my first reaction to your daily menu was that there is not enough food there to stop you losing weight. I'm also on lchf and my bloods recently were astonishing, so I don't believe that your cholesterol count would get worse. I think you'd find it spectacularly better, but if you don't try you won't find out. Equally, there is now a lot of evidence that cholesterol count is not an indicator of cardiovascular issues.
As andbreathe has said, you either increase your calories by carbs and see what happens to your blood sugar or do it by fats and see what happens to your cholesterol. If I were to bet, I'd go with the fats.
