Regarding the treatment of obesity, the cause of obesity must first be identified. For patients with simple obesity, the primary approach involves lifestyle interventions, including exercise and diet.

The diet should involve a calculation of caloric intake based on activity levels, generally focusing on a low-calorie or very low-calorie intake. Additionally, it is recommended to engage in suitable aerobic exercises.

Currently, there are products available such as fat enzyme inhibitors that reduce weight by inhibiting the absorption of fats in the intestines. Also, in the United States, GLP-1 agonists are available for the treatment of simple obesity. If obesity is caused by certain medical conditions, such as an endocrine disorder known as Cushing's syndrome, which can also lead to obesity, treatment should first address the primary disease, which would also resolve the obesity.
