• Overweight or obesity due to single gene mutation, disease or drug, or weight increase due to non-fat mass increase.

• Treatment with any medication or product which in the investigator's opinion will cause change in weight to influence trial evaluations within 12 weeks before screening or during this study.

• Subjects who underwent bariatric surgery within 12 months before screening, or are not yet recovered from any surgery or injury at screening.

• Subjects who participated in any clinical trial and received the treatment within 12 weeks before screening, or who participated in the clinical trial and received treatment with TG103 injection.

• History of allergy or suspected allergy to GLP-1 receptor agonists or antibody agents, or other severe allergy history based on which the subjects may be allergic to the study drugs in investigator's opinion.

• Previous history or screening ultrasound includes one of the following: chronic pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis, gallstone with at least one of less than 5mm, choledocholithiasis, except that there was no cholelithiasis after treatment or cholecystectomy.

• No recovery from gastrointestinal disease or symptom at screening, or previous withdrawl of GLP-1 receptor agonist, GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, GLP-1/GCG receptor agonist or metformin by gastrointestinal adverse drug reaction, or previous history of gastrointestinal surgery that influences the gastrointestinal motility in the investigators' opinions.

• Acute infection at screening.

• History of easily relapsed skin disease (e.g. urticaria), or present skin injury in any administration site at screening.

• History of acute coronary syndrome, stroke, severe asthma, epilepsy, systemic lupus erythematosus, hemolytic anemia, cirrhosis and the other severe disease, or history of malignant tumor.

• History of abnormal thyroid function with requirement of medication treatment at screening, or TSH beyond the normal reference range at screening.

• History of drug abuse, drug dependence or alcoholism.

• History of moderate to severe depression, or screening Patient Health Questionaire-9 (PHQ-9) score ≥ 15.
