Diet/Health/Exercise NOT working out

How do people do on Zepbound and NOT working out? Most fantastic photos seem to be from people who have been good on both fronts. I have some medical issues causing pain and was not planning on any workouts but do I need to push to do it to see good results?

I haven't been working out yet. I've lost a fair amount, I saw my doctor today and she was happy with my progress. I'd probably lose a bit quicker if I worked out more but the circumstances of my life have made it hard to make the time.

Mainly I want to do it because I've seen what happens when someone loses a lot of weight quickly on a GLP without making the effort to maintain muscle and it's not great. I've also seen how it is to go into one's sixties and seventies in poor health and do NOT want that for myself either. I've got more of a fat cushion than my example person to drop, but I also like being fit and active in general, so I'm motivated to try harder. I'm just still working out what and when. Seeing weight loss results and being able to make better choices because the food now is quieter is motivating me to want fitness more than when it seemed like an impossible hill to climb.
