“...definitely change the lifestyle.”
Some times the lifestyle can’t be changed to make a difference. One is the problem in the US with Insulin resistance. It is estimated that four in ten people in the US have it. And it leads to other problems that break the body down to where the other problems have to be controlled to defeat the problem of obesity. And even then it may not be possible to do so. Diabetes, one of the players in insulin resistance, adds heart and respiratory problems. And the dominoes just keep falling faster than you can pick them up. It’s kind of like Lucy trying to stay with the chocolates.
If you put less gas in a car it doesn’t run as far or as well depending on the gas. Same with bodies. If you don’t get the nutrients we naturally need then the body doesn’t run right and more problems surface in many ways making it unable to correct any of them. Vicious circle.

Low/no carb diet fixes insulin resistance. Looking forward to my next set of blood tests to see my fasting insulin numbers. Last numbers showed a significant drop, but still have a ways to go. "Pre-diabetic" blood sugar numbers now in full normal "non-diabetic" range.
You nailed it with “insulin resistance”, which describes most T2 diabetics.
Add in hypothyroidism, menopause, general aging and an out of whack gut microbiome from over prescribed antibiotics and “lifestyle changes” is simply not going to affect all the imbalances enough to cause substantial weight loss. You just end up yoyo dieting.
Problem is most doctors are treating individual symptoms/problems and not the failing systems.
Ya kinda need to do all the things to regain real control of your health.
