Among other terms for it are "medical weight management" and "bariatric medicine". The idea is prescribing appropriate nutritional programs, behavioral approaches, and yes, exercise to assist people to reduce excess body fat content. Where indicated, medications can be prescribed to reduce appetite and satiety, perhaps increase metabolism in some instances. Probably obvious, but there are many other aspects to treatment of obesity, not the least of which is addressing other health conditions that contribute to excess adiposity. There is substantial medical/science literature on all these topics, really not too hard to find using search engines of choice.
