I skip breakfast everyday for the last 6 months and these were my results. Combined with weight training, I got down to 12% bf and lost 15 lbs while still gaining additional muscle mass. Skipping breakfast, keeping my eating window within an 8 hour period each day, while maintaining a 2000-3000 calorie/day consumption seemed to do the trick for me. http://www.leangains.com/2010/04/leangains-guide.html

My most successful period of weight loss crammed all my eating into 1-2 hours of each day. No particular reason for it, it was just a little quicker to eat one snack plus one big meal. And maybe easier to stay disciplined with stricter rules.

With keto + calorie counting, I never felt overly hungry.

point is, would have there been any difference at all when you would not have skipped breakfast and instead maintained those amounts of calories by spreading them out more evenly during the day?
Read the link. Intermittent fasting is more than just skipping breakfatst.
After waking up, when do you grab your first bite?
That's 6.8 kg for anyone wondering.
