Is there data on weight loss for people who follow a diet / vegetarian vegan, compared to those who eat lots of meat / high protein? I have heard several reports on what is best in terms of weight loss and know the most facts. Are there any articles or data to support either argument?

There is no difference.
It is the amount you eat that is the real factor.
I am a fat vegetarian. I have a high protien diet.
good luck!
The most important statistic to remember with “dieting” are these two numbers:
ALL diets have a 90% failure rate within one year.
ALL diets have a 95% failure rate within five years.
So realistically, if you are looking at “dieting” to lose weight, neither is actually effective at all. Now in terms of just general nutrition one could make arguments for both and against both. As long as your diet is well rounded you will be doing well.
If you are planning to lose weight, just eat a well balanced diet and exercise. It’s not complicated and doesn’t require a gimmick.
