This is not an obvious or trivial headline. Not all weight-loss drugs lead to reduced appetite/consumption.
For example, orlistat blocks the action of lipase during digestion, which prevents the body from digesting as much of the fat in a meal[1].

Weight loss, be it naturally done or with the aid of a drug, should come with a reduction in consumption. All that food has to go somewhere, if the body doesn’t process it, it has to come out one way or another.
