• Participant has abdominal fat graded by the Investigator as Grade 3 (moderate) or Grade 4 (severe) using the Clinician-Reported Abdominal Fat Rating Scale via live evaluation at Screening.
• Participant has stable body weight (identified as ≤ 3 kg weight change per participant report) for at least 3 months before Screening and during the study.
• Participant who has maintained a stable lifestyle (e.g., exercise, eating patterns, and smoking habit) per participant report for at least 3 months before Screening and during the study.

Male participant who is not willing to commit to using of a condom and refraining from sperm donation from the time of the first dose of IP, throughout study participation until 90 days after the last IP dose.
• Note: Participants who are not of childbearing potential are not required to use contraception. Females not of childbearing potential are defined as those who have been surgically sterilized (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or who are post-menopausal (defined as at least 50 years of age with greater than or equal to 12 months of amenorrhea with a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) greater than 30 IU/L).

• Participant has hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) greater than or equal to 9%, delayed wound healing, or poorly controlled diabetes defined as requiring a change in glucose control medications (other than day to day variations in insulin requirements) within the 6 months prior to Screening or for whom a change in glucose control medications is anticipated during the study, or any diabetic risks that, in the opinion of Investigator, make the individual an inappropriate candidate for the study.
• Participant with active or prior history of malignancies within 5 years before Screening or currently being evaluated for a possible malignancy, with the exception of adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of skin and in situ squamous cell carcinoma of skin at Investigator's discretion.
• Participant with a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection or participant with active HIV infection at Screening with positive HIV antigen/antibody (Ag/Ab) combo test.

• Participant with folding fat or skin on abdomen in standing position.
• Participant with severe or very severe abdominal visceral fat assessed by the Investigator using the visceral fat scale.
• Participant with ventral abdominal or umbilical hernia or previous repair of same.
• Participant has abnormal skin or local skin conditions at the treatment area, which, in the opinion of Investigator, would increase risk to the participant or inhibit safety or efficacy evaluation, including but not limited to any of the following:
• Skin manifestations of a systemic disease,
• Any abnormality of the skin or soft tissues of the area to be treated, such as scars, striae, dyspigmentation, etc.,
• Asymmetrical fat on abdomen,
• Lipomatosis syndromes (familial lipomatosis, nevus lipomatosis, Dercum's disease, etc.),

• Sensory loss or dysesthesia in the area to be treated,
• Tattoo(s) on the front and/or lateral side of abdomen.

• Liposuction or abdominoplasty to the region to be treated before Screening or during the study,
• Aesthetic procedure for body contouring or fat reduction, e.g., cryolipolysis, ultrasonic lipolysis, low level laser therapy, EMSculpt, lipolysis injection to the region to be treated within 12 months before Screening or during the study.
• Using medication that is delivered via subcutaneous injection at the treatment area within 4 weeks before Screening or during the study.
• Participant is on prescription or OTC weight reduction medication, weight reduction programs, or use of any GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide, terzepatide, liraglutide, etc.) (oral or injectable) within 6 months before Screening or during the study.
