The fatter you are = The quicker you'll lose weight

A fatter person loses weight FASTER than a lighter person because they have a higher metabolism. Fatter people require more calories/energy to maintain their current bodyweight.
When a fatter person goes on a diet or eats less calories… Their metabolism burns a lot more fat than a lighter person to make up for the bigger lack of energy they need.
When a fatter person works out… They burn more calories becasue it takes more energy to move a heavier object. This is why wearing a weight vest while exercising helps you lose weight faster.
