Could someone give me some advice about my diet/exercise and when to start ttc?

I started eating vegetarian on the 1st of november. I started doing the LE diet and exercise about 2 or 3 weeks ago, but found out that I had to much fat on some days. In the last month I had an average of 48g fat per day. Is that to much? I ate about 1700 calories each day.
My BMI is 18,9 so I don't have much weight to lose. If my BMI is to low, I'll probably stop ovulating. I also think I didn't do cardio often enough. I think I exercised on 4 days of the week.

What would you do? Be more strict with the diet and exercise and start ttc by the end of january (which is when I expect to ovulate in january) or have 1 month of diet and exercise extra and start at the end of february?

No, you can have up to 60 g fat a day on LE Diet.

I would have you up cals to stop your weight loss since you do not have much to lose and continue your exercise at present level. Hopefullty your weight loss will stabilize.

Agree with atomic - up overall cals but I personally would keep an eye on fat and keep it under 50g. Adding empty carbs, especially soda, works really well for many if us naturally slender gals to prevent weight loss.

I would wait until end of Feb to start TTC as longer on the diet (up to 12w) is better. Less than 8w is not nearly as strong a sway, and 12w is ideal. But it depends how badly you want a girl vs getting pregnant sooner regardless of gender.
