I can hardly tell the difference but in an academic paper or other formal piece of writing I think that "recently" is the one to use since "lately" and "these days" seem more informal, or to reference the speaker's sense of time. "Recently" seems to me to reference a more social concept of time around, or just before, the present.
I think that "these days" refers to the time around the present both past and future whereas "recently" and "lately" refer to the time just past (though they do not imply that the situation will change).
"I jog these days." Means I have been jogging lately/recently and that I will probably keep jogging in the near future, I think, too. It feels a bit unnatural to me to use recently or lately with the present.
I have been jogging recently. 〇
I have been jogging lately. 〇
I jog these days. 〇

I think it likely that native speakers are using recently and lately with present someone on the Internet but it is a bit strained, for me.

Wow these are very similar.
It happened lately.
Lately = usually more than once, within the last (small number of days/weeks/months)
Lately I’ve been thinking about moving house.
It happened recently
Recently = once or more than once within the last (small number of days/weeks months)
Recently I went to see a real estate agent.
It happens these days
These days = since something changed, now, and possibly in the future.
These days I read real estate magazines
= I didn’t read real estate magazines before but now I do (since I decide to buy a new house)
