BMI 27, extreme apple shape, weight loss stalled six months ago

Hi, I was hoping to get some thoughts before starting weight loss injections. Sorry if I'm repeating a previous post...

I'm 175cm tall, female and previously weighed 113kg. This time last year, after an intense period of stress I stopped eating much at all and was exercising to burn off nervous energy. In the space of two months I lost about 15kg and then a further 8kg in the next 6 months.

Since then my weight has hovered around 90-93kg. I'm very apple shaped and my waist is wider than my hips. So I still look very bloated, just on a smaller scale than before.

I'm eating more now but not enough to put weight back on. Unfortunately I have quite painful varicose veins and I am T2 so really want to keep losing weight to help with these issues. I found it impossible before anxiety completely killed my appetite.

Has anyone addressed similar issues and does anyone have any thoughts on whether Mounjaro or a different injection would be suitable for me? I know that some people don't think that it's as effective if you've already lost a significant amount of weight.
