We investigate the evolution of spectral energy distribution (SED) and underlying electron energy distribution (EED) by modeling the nearly simultaneous broadband spectra of selected bright 4FGL blazars, in the context of a combined cooling and stochastic acceleration scenario. We find that a one-zone leptonic model with log-parabolic EED can successfully fit the GeV-TeV emission of blazars. The synchrotron frequency ν_s of blazars mainly evolves due to the variation of electron peak energy γ_3p. BL Lac (BL Lacs) objects show a negative trend in the ν_s-ν_sL_s SED plane, known as the blazar sequence, that does not seem to be an artifact of Doppler boosting, but is driven by the equipartition constraints. A positive correlation is found between the derived magnetic field B and electron density n_e, whereas n_e and γ_3p negatively relate, as expected in an equipartition scenario. The flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) deviate significantly from such a scenario, indicating their jet parameters should vary independently. The synchrotron peak frequency ν_s and its spectral curvature b_s negatively correlate for all blazars, confirming the stochastic particle acceleration in blazar jets. However, blazars do not show the signature of hard-sphere acceleration, indicating that magnetic turbulence in the jets might be soft and physical conditions might be near steady state, consistent with equipartition. Furthermore, for BL Lacs, the SED curvature b_s and the EED curvature r nearly meet the theoretical relationship of r = 5b_s, whereas the FSRQs show a large deviation due to a poor constraint on b_s due to the presence of a thermal component.
