Currently there are no good medications that can treat specifically fatty liver (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD; non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH) which are approved by FDA.
As you rightly pointed out, fatty liver is a complication of obesity. Fatty liver is related to diabetes . So any kind of weight loss, be it by lifestyle modification, medications or bariatric surgery, will always reduce liver fat and improve NAFLD.
The latest medication which is oral GLP-1 agonist (semaglutide) is FDA approved for weight loss. It is still relatively new so may not be available in your country yet.
