Weight loss is such a well explored topic with high commercial demand that anything you've thought of has probably already been done. As far as drugs to speed up weight loss there's DNP, which actually works. It's justifiably banned though because it is easy to overdose on and die from overheating. Not a good way to go.

Morbidly obsese can just water fast. /r/fasting on Reddit is full of success stories.

There's also semaglutide, which was recently approved for weight loss. It's quite safe and reasonably effective, though using it currently requires a once-weekly injection and your insurance may not cover it.

(Rybelsus is a version of semaglutide available in tablet form, but it hasn't officially been approved for obesity yet.)
