Sounds likely that your body now needs more dietary fuel as there isn’t as much bodyfat for it to devour. Listen to what it’s telling you.

I though that it might be because i am carrying less fat so my body got less fat to take so i am slowly upping my calorie intake because i don’t want to put weight back on because i am felling really good at moment, but slightly hungry all the time

Since you hit your goal weight, you can eat more fat and that might help you feel less hungry. There’s 9 kcal per gram of fat vs 4 kcal for protein and carbs.
I personally have to deal with psychological hunger from time to time. Usually it’s because I am thinking of what my next keto meal is or I see something on TV that looks good or I am perusing the thread “What did you Keto today?”. I try to remember that that kind of hunger is a desire and not a necessity. I found this article about the different types of hunger interesting.
_There are at least ten types of hunger. Which of these are familiar to you?
#1 Nutritional Hunger – this is the only true hunger, when your body needs nutrition.
#2 Thirst – our sense of thirst is easily muddled with hunger, if in doubt drink first.
#3 Variety – we are programmed to seek nutritional variety so want different tastes, textures and colors
#4 Low Blood Sugar – the body protects glycogen stores, before ketosis kicks in, by triggering hunger if blood sugar drops.
#5 Emotional Hunger – food is comforting, acting just like a drug and stimulating feel good neurotransmitters.
#6 Empty Stomach – receptors in the stomach sense emptiness and since we usually keep it full, emptiness feels odd.
#7 Priming – advertisers use food images, artificial smells and happy people to ‘prime’ us to want to eat.
#8 Bacterial – the bad bacteria rooted in your gut influence bad dietary choices.
#9 Habitual – familiar people, places, actions and environments trigger habitual eating, felt as hunger
#10 Addiction – there are many highly addictive substances commonly added to processed foods_
