Body weight change within 12 weeks prior to screening < 5.0% (by subject's self-report). The percentage of weight change is calculated as:(maximum weight [kg] - minimum weight [kg] within the 12 weeks prior to screening) / minimum weight [kg] within the 12 weeks prior to screening × 100%; 4. Female participants must have no plan to become pregnant or donate ova from 14 days prior to the first dose until 4 months after the last dose, and voluntarily agree to use effective contraceptive measures to avoid pregnancy. Male participants must have no plan to father a child or donate sperm from the first dose until 4 months after the last dose, and voluntarily agree to use effective contraceptive measures to avoid causing pregnancy in their partners. 5. Participants must be able to communicate effectively with the investigator, fully understand the study content, procedures, and potential adverse reactions, voluntarily participate, be capable of completing the study as per the protocol, and sign the informed consent form.

(12) Have thyroid dysfunction not controlled with a stable dose of medication, or have clinically significant abnormalities in thyroid function tests at screening that require initiation of treatment. (13) Have a history of other severe endocrine system diseases affecting glucose metabolism, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia, acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome. (14) Have acute or chronic cholecystitis at screening; or have cholelithiasis with symptoms or requiring treatment at screening; or have gallbladder polyps with symptoms or requiring treatment at screening.
