You need to loop over your fields to see if there is content and use a flag varialbe. You also need to move the <p> tags inside your conditions to prevent outputting empty paragraph tags.

$has_content = false;  // flag
if ($custom_query->have_posts()) {
  while ($custom_query->have_posts()) {
    $custom_query->the_post();
    // get your field values
    // check if something should be displayed
    if (/*your comparison*/) {
      // set flag because something is shown
      $has_content = true;
      echo '<p>the rest of your content</p>';
    }
  } // end while
} // end if
// check the flag
if (!$has_content) {
  echo '<p>your no content message</p>'
}
