One possible case a healthcare provider might consider metformin for weight loss is for people without diabetes who are on medications for schizophrenia.

I’ve been on Metformin for years
I initially lost a lot of weight when I first started the drug but now it’s no longer the case.
It’s a safe effective diabetes drug
I’m also on Ozempic

You lose minimal weight like 1kg or 2 which is something but better to use glp1 agonists.
I think best reason to use them is in schizophrenia, it is common to be obese. So metformin is use them to try and help control the impact of blood sugar not sure if it prophylactic for diabetes or not though
