It depends on their metabolic health.
If both people are insulin sensitive, the difference between a quality whole food diet and a quality keto diet will likely be minimal.
If both people are insulin resistant, the keto diet will typically perform much better. That is because insulin resistant people have high insulin all the time, and that makes it hard for them to burn fat and therefore they end up with more hunger.

Well there are several factors to this.
Firstly, How well will participants adhere to their diets?
If a Keto person badly wants pizza, their adherence will be bad. If a conventional dieter has mad blood sugar cravings, their adherence will be bad. This one I think goings slightly in favour of Keto as having better adherence since blood sugar cravings are no joke but your gut biome stabilises after about 30 days.
Secondly, water retention. I think it’s clear water retention will be better on Keto, although this is essentially meaningless in terms of health, it’s just a lower number on the scale. It’s also very short term (visible in the first few days of the diet).
Finally, I think Keto’s higher protein consumption will be more protective of losing muscle mass, meaning that the weight lost will be fat. Whereas with a conventional diet you will lost both fat and muscle.

Even on keto, you need to maintain a calorie deficit, so if you are not burning 2000 calories a day you will gain weight either way.
The advantage of keto is that you will be hungry less often and less tempted to cheat on your diet. The disadvantage is that you *must* stick to your carb limit at all times for keto to be effective, otherwise it will not work. With normal calorie deficit, you could have a “cheat” meal and as long as your caloric intake was balanced out you’d be ok

The idea of keto is that it tries to force your body into ketosis, which is where the body burns fat for energy instead of glucose(sugars). This is a less efficient process, so you’re effectively getting less calories. So if you’re effectively putting your body into ketosis, you’re burning more effective calories than you would otherwise, in terms of the typical food we in-take.
