The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of an evidence-based multi-level intervention for weight loss and the feasibility, fidelity, and sustainability of implementing the intervention in people living with obesity in Louisiana. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Will an evidence-based multi-level obesity intervention (called LA-CEAL CONNECT) in Louisiana communities achieve weight loss at 6 months compared to enhanced usual care?
* Will LA-CEAL CONNECT sustain weight loss at 12 months?
* Will LA-CEAL CONNECT improve waist circumference, diet quality, physical activity, quality of life, and blood pressure at 6 and 12 months?
* Will LA-CEAL CONNECT be feasible to implement in adults living with obesity in Louisiana communities?
Researchers will compare the LA-CEAL CONNECT multilevel weight loss intervention to enhanced usual care to evaluate if LA-CEAL CONNECT leads to greater weight loss and greater changes in waist circumference, diet, physical activity, quality of life, and blood pressure than enhanced usual care.
Participants in both arms will:
* Receive health literacy-tailored educational materials and resources for weight loss
* Visit the clinic site for baseline, 6-month and 12-month study visits to collect clinical and survey measurements
Participants in the CONNECT intervention arm will also:
* receive health coaching
* self-monitor weight and physical activity using digital technologies
* attend group meetings to identify and increase utilization of community health and wellness resources
