Weight loss injections v calorie deficit

I wonder if someone can answer this as I cannot find any info on this on the internet.

When people use weight loss injections and lose weight, is all it doing putting them in a calorie deficit?

Like if 2 identical people ate 1000 calories a day, one in injection one not, would they lose the same amount?

Because all then info I can find is that injections put you in deficit cos they stabilise bloods etc and also reduce food noise, so you can easily maintain a deficit, but then when I see people's results and the amount they are losing I can't believe that that is just from a deficit alone, it's like stones in a few weeks some of them!

600 calories a day is very low if accurate, but Michael Mosley's gathering of all the research showed 800 calories was sufficient to get the nutrients the body needs and kick start weight loss to help with pre-diabetes, etc.
