Like I get that it could be dangerous and the process is complicated but we can make medications that trigger/inhibit all sorts of biological functions why are weight loss pills that are scientifically engineered to work not a thing yet?

All that energy needs to go somewhere. If you want to use up energy from food (I’ll assume that’s what you mean) without expending it on normal functions (such as metabolism, movement…), it would probably need to be expended as heat.
We have stuff that does that. For example, you could get infected with the flu to raise your body temperature, and “burn energy”. I think you know why that’s a bad idea. Even if we had medication that could do that without the other peoblems that come with infections (and I hear we do, though I don’t understand how it works), raising your body temperature extensively won’t be pleasant or safe.
