Rebound after quitting nicotine & starting TRT. New to GLP-1s

A little background on my situation: I am 36, 5'11". Over the last year, I managed to drop 60 lbs naturally, going from 230 down to 170. However, the rebound appetite hit me hard after I quit nicotine. To make matters trickier, I was recently prescribed TRT, which has just sort of increased my appetite even further.
I’ve gained about 20 lbs back and am currently sitting around 190.
My activity level is high—I lift 4 days a week and my job keeps me moving (10k+ steps and 20+ flights of stairs every workday). I do keep track of my macros, but the food noise and cravings for sweets get the best of me lately.
I am completely new to GLP-1s. I am looking into Tirzepatide and Retatrutide to help curb that noise so I can get back to where I was.
Could you guys help me understand the main pros and cons between Tirz and Reta for someone in my position?

Realized I forgot to mention the specific goal.
I’m looking to drop about 25 lbs to get down to around 12% body fat. The plan is to use the GLP-1 to help get me lean, and then transition into a proper cycle to focus on building muscle back on.
