Fat doesnt burn calories, therefore it doesnt matter if you are obesse or slim, the amount of calories you burn isn't influenced by the amount of excess fat you have. What matters is the amount of muscle MASS a person has, muscle tissue takes more calories to maintain, so the person with the higher muscle MASS will be burning the more calories..
But metabolism also plays a role (the SPEED at which you burn calories) and is influenced by Aerobic Fitness and Genetics to a certain extent to, these two factors especially will decide which one will burn the more calories, when two people are working at the same rate.

Do you burn more calorie if you are more fit?
No. obese people have a lot more fat on them than people that are working out. So if you're working out and you're fit then you are going to lose more and look a lot skinnier than the obese person... and the obese person needs to work a lot harder then the person who's fit because they have a lot more to burn off.Alternative answer:By the fact that an obese person weighs more, and has a larger body to support, it is a logical assumption to make that an obese person 'needs' more calories to maintain the same weight.However, the amount of muscle mass a person has will also dictate how much energy is used, and this may vary substantially between obese people.
