Yes, both sentences sound natural.
Explanation:
"by process of elimination"
The phrase is used without an article as a fixed expression. It emphasizes the method used.
"the process of elimination"
The definite article "the" is used to refer to a specific, well-known method (the process of elimination).
Both forms are correct, just slightly different in tone.
