The concept of sticking to one particular form of eating has always bothered me. It's always felt like an attempt to find a panacea that doesn't require much analysis by the person of what they input to their bodies. Realistic eating is a lifelong responsibility of paying attention to what you're eating and the effects it has on your body. Perhaps what we need is a faster feedback loop of what the current state of your body is so you can make an adjustment.

There are definitely some foods that are better than others, but choosing a diet because it'll solve all your problems is the wrong way to address health.

I am trying to shed quite a lot of weight. The only guideline I strictly follow is trying to keep my caloric intake slightly under my usage. (Altough, I am additionally aiming towards cutting out as much added sugar as possible and instead consuming more fiber and protein)

A specific diet would just lead to me giving up and rebounding.
