If a body A is moving with a constant velocity v and an observer on that body A observes another body B to be at rest then the kinetic energy of B is zero. So is energy dependent on the frame of reference if so then how is the conservation of energy stated?

Energy is conserved in each inertial frame.
As every inertial frame is equally plausible, there is no absolute velocity and therefore no absolute kinetic energy.
