The weight came off and the harder part started, which is not what any of the material I read had prepared me for.
The question I want answered is how people separated a drug effect from the ordinary consequences of a large deficit and disrupted sleep, because I cannot.
Numbers rather than impressions, if you have them.
Answering the narrow version, because the broad one does not have a single answer. Training does two things here and only one of them is on the scale. It protects lean mass — which is the reason to do it — and it contributes modestly to the deficit, which is the reason people start and then quit when the arithmetic disappoints them. In a deep deficit, resistance work is the priority and high-volume cardio competes with recovery.
Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Agreed, with the caveat that "exercise" for someone with mobility limitations is a different set of options, and the standard advice is written as though everyone can walk for an hour.

Second this. Posting only so the count is not one.
Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.
Anxiety increase on mental health: counterintuitive, but losing weight rapidly triggered anxiety for me. Change — even positive change — is stressful. I was anxious about whether I deserved to feel good.
This is more common than people admit. A therapist who specializes in weight management has been invaluable. Don't neglect the mental health side of this journey.
