Inclusion criteria

Male or female.
Aged 18-64 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent.
Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus greater than equal to (≥) 180 days prior to the day of screening.
Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.0 - 10.5 percentage (%) [53 - 91 millimoles per mole (mmol/mol)] (both inclusive).
Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 27.0 kilograms per meter square (kg/m^2).
Stable daily dose(s) ≥ 90 days prior to the day of screening of any metformin formulations.

Exclusion criteria

Treatment with any medication for the indication of diabetes or obesity other than stated in the inclusion criteria within 90 days before screening. However, short term insulin treatment for a maximum of 14 days prior to the day of screening is allowed, as is prior insulin treatment for gestational diabetes.
Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within the past 90 days prior to day of screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination.
Renal impairment measured as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value of less than (<) 30 milliliters per minute (mL/min)/1.73 meter square (m^2) at screening.
