Of course means obviously, or a way to introduce an idea or turn of events as being obvious or to be expected

Definitely means without a doubt or to define a matter.

Good:
"Of course he eats food."

"I definitely want to come back again."

Bad:
"I of course want to come back."

"He eats food, definitely."

Of course is kinda like saying "obviously" and definitely is saying you will do it whether obvious or not.
Ex. Of course I love my cat / Obviously I love my cat.
Ex. I'm definitely going to New York this summer.
You can't always replace "of course" with "obviously" but that's the best way I can explain it haha. Hope this helped!
