Sorry, you probably need a "real" video card for video encode.
I really tried to make OBS work at 1080p on my 2015 MacBook Pro, but just about anything (even a simple flip the webcam output) causes my fan to spin to maximum and eventually the video lags behind.
The best thing I could do was get something like the Avaya HC020 Webcam. It does a lot of things like zoom, flip, color balance, etc. all in the camera so you're processing as little as possible. At that point, I think I got 720p reliable, but not 1080p. However, my fan was still going full blast.
Eventually, I just gave up and built a Windows 10 desktop machine solely for video. It works great and I don't have a jet engine powering up next to my face when I do video.
