Objective: To synthesize evidence supporting phenotype-oriented selection of semaglutide, tirzepatide, oral incretin strategies, and triple GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon agonism in adults with obesity or overweight and clinically relevant comorbidity. Methods: A focused systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA 2020. MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and CENTRAL were searched for evidence published from 1 January 2024 to 8 July 2026. Two reviewers independently screened records, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Results: Twenty-eight studies or contextual documents were included. Tirzepatide showed the strongest direct comparative weight-loss signal; semaglutide had mature cardiovascular and phase 3 hepatic evidence. Both agents had randomized evidence in obesity-related HFpEF. Conclusion: Phenotype-oriented selection is better supported than a single hierarchy based on weight loss. Route, cost, tolerability, persistence, reproductive plans, and muscle function should be incorporated into treatment planning.
