Fatshits burn it more quickly/easily cause they can run on a higher deficit and generally aren't concerned about losing muscle. Someone with a lot of muscle is going to risk losing some (and strength) at a high deficit. A lot of the hardcore lifters I know don't go much below maintenance when they're cutting so the fat comes off slowly. Been years since I've had a decent amount of muscle but when I was cutting I would never go below a 500 cal deficit. It really depends on what your maintenance is and how much muscle you're willing to lose. I'd guess they would both lose at the same cals/fat loss ratio. But there are probably people on here more informed about it than I. Eventually, you're cutting into cals your body needs to run itself.
