Anyway, I have tried Keto to lose the gut. Zero energy, bad moods (I am a normally happy guy), a lot more sleep, and my usually raging libido has disappeared. Blood sugar has gone from mid/upper 90s to 105, but now it’s always above 120.

It's a band-aid at best. Meta-analyses of low-carb diets show that the effect on A1C lowering is transient and disappears after one year compared to a higher carbohydrate diet, in part due to issues with adherence. Low and high carb diets of the same calorie level ended up with patients having the same BMI, waist circumference, and LDL levels.
