Low carb is healthier. Fat is essential for health and low fat diets just don't provide enough. And just to clarify, you don't need to eat a high fat, low carb diet to be healthy. Moderate amounts of each is fine. But just as an answer to your question, low carb is healthier than low fat.
As far as weight loss goes, low carb is better. Ultimately for weight loss all that matters is calories but low carb diets tend to keep people fuller which helps restrict calories.

It isn't ideal to eat a low fat diet at all... but it's not healthy to eat REFINED fats either. Natural, healthy fats are what our bodies require - butter, lard, bacon fat, unrefined avocado, coconut and olive oils, duck fat etc. Our brains are a mass of fat, so we need to eat healthy fats to feed our brains
Keto diet is one where we burn fats for fuel, not carbs, and the formula is: 75% of daily calories come from healthy fats, 20% from protein sources and 5% from carbohydrates.
No one has ever died from Keto, but they have healed their bodies from the inside, out. And type 2 diabetics are cured by eating keto. It also helps people with joint problems and more

Neither. You should follow a healthy and balanced diet which does not eliminate any food group because carbs, fats, protein, dairy, fruits, veggies, grains, etc. are all important and offer different nutrition, vitamins, and minerals.
The best "diet" is a lifestyle -- one that makes you healthy and can be sustained. Can you realistically imagine yourself doing "low carb" for the rest of your life? Because what do you think happens when you do reach your goal weight-- can you magically start eating carbs again and expect to maintain the weight you achieved by eliminating carbs? Obviously not.

Low carb for me personally. I've lost over 100 pounds. If you look up the 'trained like a victoria's secret model' or 'train liked (celebrity here' you'll see their personal trainers immediately kick carbs to the curb, especially if coaching women which have a harder time losing.
Edit: I am a smaller woman not a tall man so my 'this is how many calories' will NOT apply to you. I only need 1200 calories a day.
It's kind of miserable and depressing the first two weeks so you really have to want it to grind through getting into it. But my diet looks like two heaping portions of vegetables with usually some side vegetables cut up and thrown in, cheese, spices, and servings of whatever meat I really feel like. If it's steak and cheese it's steak and cheese. I get about 240 calories in meat and 100 from cheese, then just a bunch of vegetables. The trick is you have to learn to be hungry and not see hunger as an emergency.
When you start calmly allowing yourself to be hungry for a few extra hours just to dedicate yourself to experiencing it, it makes boring food taste like Gordon Ramsey's best. It changes the way food tastes entirely.
I would wean into a low carb diet gingerly or you will be completely laid out, tired, miserable, pissed at the world. Sugar addiction is a thing and it hurts like being in the hospital to kick it completely. So allow yourself a small dessert and some 'bad carbs' weaning out of it slowly.
Also, it doesn't mean never have ice cream and rice again. It just means have some in the morning when you have all day to burn it off, or have it right before exercise so it doesn't spike your blood sugar or reverse the hard work you did getting into a fat-fueled state. Or have really tiny bites here and there when you feel like it. The worst thing you can do is say, "Well I'm not going to be in ketosis anyway so I might as well go all out and eat all the carbs I was missing."
Even if you weren't aiming for a low carb diet, you would STILL want to be aiming for eating vegetables, protein to go with the workout, and rather clean regardless.The difference is if you don't go low carb, you should avoid butter, steak, bacon, etc. If you DO go low carb not only are you better at burning carbs and your insulin levels can be much better and faster to function, you can have fatty foods without it affecting your progress or upping your calorie count. Really filling, don't need to eat much.
But it's a 2 week hell to get into, and after that, it's true. Not much hunger, no cravings, you just get really hungry and then eat then feel stuffed on a surprisingly smaller amount. Men should drink protein shakes as they wont be able to get enough calories to maintain muscle growth.
