One more question - Did your total bodyweight go up, or stay the same?
Are we just talking about the Tanita body fat % changing, and not your total weight?

Yeah no worries, my instance is having trouble right now, so I'm using a different account now too! Small world. It must be this hot sunny day.
Never hungry unless there is meat in front of me, and I often don't finish
This might be the reason, if your not hungry, you don't need to eat. That is your body's feedback mechanism.
I started working from home and not cycling to and from work (1 hr each way) 5 days a week
Yeah, you developed a eating habit/schedule for a higher metabolic rate then your maintaining.
I didn't change the fat percentage of my food
Unless your body building, I don't think you need to mess with fat percentages, natural fat, and natural meat are supposed to be combined together. Fat is a strong, STRONG, satiety signal. If your muscle mass isn't going down, I'd say increase the fat % so that you don't eat too much protein.
Debugging
You might want to put your entire daily food intake into cronometer, then look at your nutrient breakdown. I've found it helpful
Common confounders: High stress levels, Cheese, sugar alcohols can increase insulin response too
Oh yeah, Rule 1, Rule 4 violations!
Recommending vegetables is fine; Downvoting your post, then telling you to stop eating meat isn't respecting your choices or being nice.
It is possible to eat too much protein beyond what your body wants, and it could get converted into glucose, you could check with a ketone meter; but the obvious feedback loop would be if your forcing yourself to finish your meal.
is there a booze to fat pathway
Yes! Unless its pure alcohol (vodka, whiskey) there are carbohydrates in it. Alcohol is a poison at any dose, but it uses the same pathway as fructose metabolism in the liver.
I was surprised today that I seem to have put on some extra fat.
Is your body fact percentage quite low already? Your body might just up adjusting to optimal.
Eat more fat if digestion is too slow (code for difficult pooing) eat less if it's too fast (loose poo)
This advice is good, but its focused on your ability to produce bile, it doesn't really go to your bodies nutritional needs. Hunger and Satiation are the main regulators of "having enough"
Are you hungry? Are you forcing yourself to finish meals?

great video, but the recipe is more fussy
Ok, that makes sense.
1.33kg a month, gotcha.
Yeah my advice would be the same: Eat fatty meals, but don't make the meal unless your hungry. If you have a scale at home you can do daily measurements to look at the trend line. If you have to drink alcohol switch over to the zero carb liquors.
