What tests do I need to undergo to get a prescription for weight loss injections?

I have been gaining weight little by little recently, so I have tried adjusting my diet and increasing my walking time, but I haven't seen as much change as I expected. Trying to manage this on my own makes it difficult to control my appetite and maintain consistency, so I am considering consulting a doctor.

I learned about weight loss injections while searching online, and I am wondering if anyone can get a prescription for them. Does eligibility depend on weight or body mass index? If I am looking into weight loss injections for the first time, I would also like to know if I need to undergo separate tests, such as a blood test, before the consultation.

Could the prescription vary depending on my usual health condition or any medications I am currently taking? I am also wondering if I need to manage my diet and exercise if I use weight loss injections. Rather than starting with medication immediately, I would like to find a method suitable for my condition. Please explain the consultation process during my first visit.
