2. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 as measured using the chronic kidney disease-epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) calculation (patients with mild and moderate renal failure are not excluded from participation in this study)
3. Treatment with any investigational product within \< 5 half-lives for each individual investigational product OR within 30 days prior to randomization
4. Major surgery (the surgery poses a significant risk to patients life and requires general anesthesia) within 30 days prior to randomization

Previous therapy with testosterone and testosterone-like agents is acceptable with a 30-day washout (if previous testosterone therapy was long term depot within the past 6 months, the site should contact the Medical Monitor) or any other androgenic agent.
7. An abnormal ECG result which, based on the investigator's clinical judgment, would place the subject at increased medical risk
8. Concurrently participating in any other interventional or treatment clinical trial.
9. Pre-existing liver disease (hepatitis B, uncontrolled hepatitis A, hepatitis C, autoimmune hepatitis, liver cancer, alcohol-associated cirrhosis, alcohol-associated hepatitis, alcohol-associated fatty liver)
10. Baseline ALT or AST \>3x upper limit of normal
11. Baseline total bilirubin levels \>upper limit of normal (except in cases of Gilbert Syndrome)
12. History of acute pancreatitis within one year of screening or history of chronic pancreatitis
13. Severe gastrointestinal disease, including gastroparesis
14. Major depressive disorder diagnosed within 2 years prior to screening (NOTE: a diagnosis of major depressive disorder ≥2 years prior to screening that is stably managed \[with or without pharmacological intervention\] without additional exclusionary history are not excluded from the study), history of other severe psychiatric disorder, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, any lifetime history of suicide attempt, or with suicidal ideation or behavior within 1 month prior to screening.
15. Patient Health Questionnaire score \>15 or any suicidal ideation of type 4 or type 5 on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale
16. Monogenic or syndrome obesity, and endocrine causes of obesity (such as untreated hypothyroidism or Cushing's syndrome), and obesity caused by medications that cause weight gain
17. Prior bariatric surgery or weight loss devices unless removed for ≥1 year prior to screening for this study.
18. Diagnosis of diabetes requiring current use of any antidiabetic drug or HbA1c ≥6.5% Note: Metabolic syndrome is not an exclusion, even if managed with an anti-diabetic drug such as metformin or an SGLT2 inhibitor. A diagnosis of prediabetes or impaired glucose tolerance managed with antidiabetic medication or non-pharmacologic approaches (e.g., diet and exercise) is not an exclusion as long as other study criteria are met and the patient has not progressed to a diagnosis of diabetes.
19. Creatine kinase \>1.5x ULN
20. Any condition that is exclusionary for use of semaglutide (generally WEGOVY) in the patient. See the WEGOVY Prescribing Information. The following contraindications are listed in the WEGOVY prescribing information:
1. Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2
2. Known hypersensitivity to semaglutide or any of the excipients in WEGOVY.
