Would cardio while wearing an n95 respirator mask help with fat loss more or the same as without, for a moderate 60 min session?

No: Generally the masks simply increase resistance to your breathing. If your goal is to strengthen your respiratory muscles then it is beneficial. If you want to lose fat or improve cardiovascular performance it is not useful.
