Let $[L:F]=n<\infty$. The intermediate field $K$ is an $F$-linear linear subspace of $L$, so the finite-dimensional linear subspace theorem gives $[K:F]\le n$. To handle the other field extension, take an $F$-basis $v_1,\dots ,v_n$ of $L$. Every $\ell \in L$ is a sum $\sum f_i{v}_i$ with $f_i\in F\subseteq K$, so the same list spans $L$ as a $K$-vector space. It need not remain linearly independent, but spanning suffices to give $[L:K]\le n$. Hence both intermediate extensions are finite.
