Thanks! This patch works for me in the block editor, matching the editor styles to the front end.
Before the patch, the em and strong elements had the same font-weight as the rest of the cite element (600).

With the patch, the em has a font-weight of 900, and the strong has a font-weight of 700.

Compare to the front end (screenshot taken with patch, but it matches the appearance before the patch):

To correct the Classic Editor styles too, you could edit editor-style-classic.css and editor-style-classic-rtl.css:
body#tinymce.wp-editor.content cite {
color: #6d6d6d;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: 600;
font-style: normal;
}
body#tinymce.wp-editor.content cite em {
font-weight: bolder;
}
body#tinymce.wp-editor.content cite strong {
font-weight: 700;
}
| font-weight: 700; | ||

I would add the cite em and cite strong rules after the cite, but that is minor.
In Twenty Twenty Theme, when italic formatting is applied to citation text in the Quote block's "Add citation" field, the editor and frontend display different font-weight styles. While the editor shows the italic text with normal font-weight, the frontend displays it with bolder font-weight, creating an inconsistency in the visual representation. The inconsistency also exist with bold font styles.
Steps to replicate:
Expected behavior: Editor should match frontend styling for italic citations
Solution: Added CSS rule to ensure italic citations display with bolder font-weight in the editor, matching the frontend appearance.
