Keywords meta tags:
<meta name="keyword" content="..." />
Keyword meta tag is controversial as it was originally used by Search Engines to index a page. But over the years webmasters spammed it with irrelevant keywords. Thus, Search Engines do not rely on this tag. It's okay to have the tag with specific keywords.

Description meta tags:
