Black Ops 3 says NAT Type is Moderate. Forwarded ports are still "closed".

I've tried forwarding the necessary ports as well as enabling DMZ towards my PC but BO3 still says that NAT type is "Moderate". I'm connected directly to the modem. I don't have issues on other online multiplayer games like Battlefield 4 and get reasonable latencies as well.
On the BO3 settings screen, when I hover my mouse over "NAT Type: Moderate", it says that the game tried to use port 3074 UDP even though I've forwarded that port.

My router is D-Link DIR-600M.

And yes, I have tried restarting the router, PC and game but that didn't help.
Why do port checking websites and programs say that ports are closed even though I've used my router's Virtual server page to forward them? Why are they said to be closed even when I've enabled DMZ to my PC's IP address?

UPDATE:

I spoke to D-Link and they're saying that the IP address shown on my router page is not the same as my public IP address. So they're saying this is a case of Double Natting and this is why none of my forwarded port are showing as open. Do I have to contact my ISP or is there some other way to overcome this issue?

Do you have the model number of the modem? I've had issues in the past where the ISP equipment was giving out a private ip instead of a public one. You could contact them to see if there's a login for their modem/router then port forward that too, or just see if they can bridge it so it passes the public ip directly to your dlink.
