despite not being vs despite it not being

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Despite not being' is more concise and commonly used, while 'despite it not being' is a bit more formal and emphasizes the subject ('it'). Using one over the other is dependent on the degree of formality you wish to communicate.
