This study is being conducted to see if semaglutide tablets can be used as a treatment to help people who are above a healthy weight range to lose weight. Semaglutide tablets are a new medicine being tested to treat people living with excess body weight. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo once daily morning for 44 weeks. In addition to taking the medicine, participants will have talks with study staff about: * Healthy food choices * How to be more physically active * What participants can do to lose weight This study will last for about 1 year.

Change in Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite Clinical Trials Version (IWQOL-Lite- CT) - Physical Function Domain
IWQOL-Lite-CT is a 20-item obesity-specific PRO measure used to assess the impact of body weight changes on patient's physical and psychosocial functioning in three composite scores (Physical Function, Physical and Psychosocial) and a Total score.
Time frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 44)
Change in Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite Clinical Trials Version (IWQOL-Lite- CT) - Total score
IWQOL-Lite-CT is a 20-item obesity-specific PRO measure used to assess the impact of body weight changes on patient's physical and psychosocial functioning in three composite scores (Physical Function, Physical and Psychosocial) and a Total score.
Time frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 44)
Change in Impact of Weight on Daily Activities Quesionnaire (IWDAQ) - Total Score
IWDAQ is a 18-item obesity-specific PRO measure developed to evaluate daily activity limitations associated with excess weight. It uses an adaptive questionnaire design where the participant chooses the three IWDAQ activities they would most like to improve with weight loss and rate the degree of limitations in each of the three activities at baseline. The same three activities are assessed for degree of limitations at follow-up to allow for tracking of activities relevant to each individual.
