Just for the record, your liver can and will make three different types of ketones from fatty acids. However the urine testing sticks are only capable of detecting one type, not the other two. The sticks are a guide only ... if you're doing everything right and getting a negative reading, this is the likely "problem". Have a read through this post .. it will explain a lot about the ketone sticks.

Meal skipping, and then eating the bulk of your daily food late in the day will cause stalled weight loss and even gain. Especially skipping breakfast and lunch, or just eating a teensy breakfast. Your body will detect that it's not getting enough energy and protein from food when it needs it most during the day, so it will slow down your metabolism to compensate. Slowed metabolism means less fat-burning and no weight loss. Then food that you eat later in the day will be stored, since you're generally not as active in the evenings. And you can bet it will be stored as FAT.

Try to have a good breakfast, with at least 20g protein every day. And limit snacking and grazing at night.
