Anyone prescribed Wegovy with a BMI just under 25?

My BMI is just under 25 and I’ve put in a request to MedExpress to start Wegovy and I added a few lbs to my weight to be considered. Not long ago it was 25 but I’ve been on a mild calorie deficit diet for about 5 months and I’ve lost about 3lbs, sometimes it’s 5lbs but the weight always jumps back up a bit. I could easily put on the weight in very little time to become BMI 25 but decided it would be better to just add 3lbs to my application. My body is very difficult to dress due to having an huge chest and narrow shoulders, big lumpy hips. Plus I’m short so just don’t carry any extra weight well. I find life so much easier when I’m about a stone lighter but after years of trying I just haven’t been able to reduce my weight enough. I’m a Mum to a special needs child, I have other children and I work full time so I don’t get a lot of time to be active. A few family members who live in the USA have tried Wegovy jabs with a lower BMI and it’s worked really well, meanwhile I’m struggling. I’ve got the call with a clinician but I’m not sure I will get accepted. Anyone had any experience of going on weight loss medications at this BMI? I know I shouldn’t have lied.
