"I'm looking forward to meeting you" can be used if you have never met someone in person before. Or if you only have spoken with them through email/text/phone call, and not face to face.
For example: if you have been emailing someone about a job and they want you to go to the office for an interview, you might say "I'm looking forward to meeting you."
"I'm looking forward to seeing you" can be used with someone you are more familiar with, or have met several times in person or over video chat.
For example: if you haven't seen your friend in a while and make plans to see them, you might say "I am looking forward to seeing you."

I'm looking forward to seeing you. -- this sounds like a visit, like you are spending some time with them. Usually this is someone that you already know. Like meeting up with a friend for lunch. "It's so good to see you! How have you been?"
I'm looking forward to meeting you. -- this sounds like you are meeting them for the first time, like you have never met before or have never been introduced before. Like meeting someone for the first time in person. "She's bringing a friend, so I'm looking forward to meeting them. I hope they are nice."
