About this trial

This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of AI-assisted multi-domain lifestyle and continued tirzepatide on body weight loss maintenance. The study consists of two phases: a 20-week lead-in phase, during which all participants will receive weekly subcutaneous tirzepatide at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), followed by a 52-week intervention phase.

Participants who meet the randomization criteria after the lead-in phase will be randomly assigned to either AI-assisted multi-domain lifestyle intervention or tirzepatide 5 mg
