It's true that Victoza was shown to be successful in inducing weight loss in non diabetics, but the long term maintenance of weight loss have not been established.
Also, you may need to think about the following: In experiments on rodents, Victoza was found to cause thyroid gland tumor, the relevance of this finding is uncertain in humans. Based on this, the recommendation is to prescribe Victoza only to patients for whom the potential benefits are considered to outweigh the potential risk. Moreover, and based on data from spontaneous postmarketing reports, acute pancreatitis has been observed in patients treated with Victoza.

Victoza is used for diabetic patients and incidentally decreases weight.

So using it for weight control is an off-label indication
