vegetarianism 素食主义
It means that no animals for meals.
veganism 纯素主义
It means no animals for meals or clothes.
However, these words are not popular in China. I don't think Chinese people even understand those jargons.
You'd better say 我不吃肉 (I don't eat meat) if you are a vegetarian, and you'd better say 我不吃肉，连衣服也不用动物制品 (I don't eat meat, not even animals for clothes) if you are a vegan.

维根 here is a transliterated loanword from English.

Although these words, may, work in their written forms - you might generally not be understood using these words colloquially, because nobody really talks like this. Better alternatives would be:
