First, you're not "probably currently somewhere in the area of 6-7%" bodyfat--6-7% is a minicut away from 5-6%, which is stage-ready levels of bodyfat for natural bodybuilders, and they only drop to that a few times a year (because of muscle loss and the inability to build muscle). But the rest of your comment is worth taking in for those who are overweight or obese and still have reservations about these drugs, or about using drugs at all for weight management. The influencers selling you discipline, diet, exercise, and the rest as the ticket to achieve lasting weight loss are already on these drugs. If you have serious weight issues (which these people don't), why aren't you? (I say this as someone who has never used any drug for weight loss, except being a bit of a caffeine junkie.)
