Not necessarily, because in the end it's about calories in versus calories out. Protein and fiber have a key role in weight loss, but it is still about eating fewer calories than you burn each day. Some days I can't get all the protein and fiber my body needs and I can tell the difference. Nevertheless, I try to eat less than I expend in calories because weight loss is the goal.

It is not harder, but you need to combine grains and beans, to equal the protein found in meat, and thereby meet the protein requirements of your muscles and tissues. Vegetarians, might get full faster because of all the veggies, consumed. That is good...to lose weight.

Eating a Vegetarian Diet for Weight Loss?

There are many great reasons to start eating a vegetarian diet. Some people choose to eat vegetarian foods because of their love for animals, or because they want to help the environment. Others try a vegetarian diet in order to lose weight. However, in order to lose weight this way, you will need to consume healthy forms of protein to make up for your reduced intake of meat. If you eat things like tofu, beans, eggs, and nuts, you will likely have no problem switching to a vegetarian diet. However, do not rely too much on processed foods, or weight loss will still be a struggle.
