This study examined which behavior change techniques (BCTs) support long\u2010term weight outcomes among adults with overweight or obesity. We synthesized evidence from randomized controlled trials of behavioral interventions versus control or alternative interventions, focusing on nonclinical adults (BMI\u2009&gt;\u200925) with \u2265\u20096\u2010month follow\u2010up, published between 2010 and 2025, that reported weight outcomes. Sixty\u2010five studies (approximately 10,000 participants) evaluating 87 behavioral interventions targeting physical activity, diet, or both were included. BCTs were coded using the BCT Taxonomy v1. Meta\u2010analysis estimated pooled effects on total weight loss (baseline to follow\u2010up) and weight maintenance (posttreatment to follow\u2010up). Behavioral interventions produced a mean effect size for total weight loss of Hedges'\n                    <jats:italic>g<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009\u22120.19 (95% CI = \u22120.30 to \u22120.13), equating to an average additional weight loss of approximately 3.25\u2009kg compared to controls. No significant effect was found for weight maintenance after initial loss, indicating no statistically significant difference in weight change between intervention and control groups during follow\u2010up. Meta\u2010regression examined the number of BCTs, intervention type, and follow\u2010up duration, but none significantly moderated effects. Subgroup analyses identified the following effective BCTs: goal setting, feedback on behavior and outcome(s) of behavior, self\u2010monitoring of behavior and outcome(s) of behavior, instruction on how to perform the behavior, demonstration of the behavior, conserving mental resources and incentives. These BCTs appear to support relative long\u2010term weight outcomes and warrant further investigation.\n
