We will sit with you, discuss your medical history, and, based on that, will provide medications that would work for you in weight loss.
GLP-1 medications are a class of medications that mainly help manage blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with Type 2 diabetes [1]. Some GLP-1 agonists can also help treat obesity. GLP-1 agonists are most often injectable medications, meaning you inject a liquid medication with a needle and syringe.
GLP-1 agonists mimic the action of GLP-1 hormone. They work by stimulating insulin production, inhibiting glucagon release, and slowing insulin absorption by reducing the speed of stomach emptying. They also stimulate lesser food intake and, therefore, help in weight loss. This makes them effective as a treatment option for obesity.
Other than lowering blood sugar levels and reducing weight, studies show that GLP-1 agonists may have other potential benefits, like:

FDA has approved two GLP-1 agonists, Wegovy and Saxenda, as of now. Both of these drugs have successfully shown weight loss in people with obesity who do not have diabetes. In clinical studies, semaglutide has shown significant weight loss when compared with the effects of liraglutide. The study found that participants on semaglutide plus diet and exercise saw a 9.4% greater average loss in baseline weight compared with those on liraglutide [2].
Please note that this is not a complete list, and there may be other brand names available in different countries as well.
GLP-1 agonists are recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease or heart failure. They are also a first-line treatment for people with both type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. 
The GLP-1 medications can be combined with metformin. They are taken by a shot (injection) given daily or weekly. However, GLP-1 agonists are not suitable for everyone and may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Studies have shown that GLP-1 agonists may help reduce the risk of heart disease, such as heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease.
A study published in the journal Diabetes Care compared the efficacy of the agonists with metformin for type 2 diabetes treatment. They found that GLP-1 receptor agonists were more effective than metformin in lowering body weight and HbA1c levels. With that said, metformin is still considered the primary medication for type 2 diabetes treatment and GLP-1 agonists come as the secondary treatment [3].
