No, it's just dropping carbs. You're a sample size of 1.
All the people on loseit are a much bigger sample and low carbs works, just not quite as fast as the more extreme keto or paleo.
All the dairy you could have kept. I lost 25lbs while still drinking 7 cups of tea a day for example by moving to a very similar diet to yours. Cheese was one of my snacks in fact.
The problem is that for actually both dairy and nuts it's very easy to overeat them as they are calorie laden.
