could be. take abdomen (across the belly button) measurements regularly. If you are effectively killing off the candida it should be going down. You may also need an anti-candida supplement once your diet is pure anti-yeast.
make sure your new diet has plenty of variety. sometimes people eliminate one food or food group and add another in its place and the substitute food is problematic.
I assume that your diet is 100% paleo?

they are not looking at this from a weight loss point of view. There are foods which do not fuel candida which are still not conducive to weight loss, for example glycerine.
<If I am not eating carbs

yes, but there is no need to.
<< Or is being ketogenic what I want? <<
unless you are pregnant or otherwise medically advised not to be, I don't know why it would be a problem and it would certainly help with your sweet tooth.

the supplements can accelerate that. When you no longer have any candida symptoms you can go back on a low carb version of paleo, which would include limited fruit. A high carb (unlimited fruit) version of paleo would reactivate candida if you went on it too soon.
Most people I know of find that 3 months is about average for anticandida. If you are seeing real progress in one month I don't see how one servings of low carb fruit like berries a day could hurt (unless it starts you on a binge).
