According to the web sites of the drug companies that manufacture mounjara, ozempic, wegovy, samaglutide, etc., those drugs have warnings that they can have very severe side effects, some of which cannot be reversed. DrugsRX is my go-to web site for checking side effects because it shows the side effects listed for consumers use and well as those for professionals use. As one might expect, the side effects listed for professional use are more complete.

Any time you lose weight, even the natural way, you lose muscle as well as fat. It's just how the body works.

Yes but these injections specifically warn that one of their side effects is muscle loss.

When you lose weight properly, it is possible to lose weight while building muscle

Anecdotally, there are people who make sure to exercise and eat an insane amount of protein while on it, and they say they don't experience the muscle loss.

I'm curious how you would know if you're losing muscle. I'm also on it and worried about this side effect.

This is almost always true, but not if you are smart about it. You don't lose muscle if you do it slow and steady and smart and include resistance exercise.

There are special scales that shows how much fat to muscle ratio you have

Thinning out and what's left becoming softer - losing the muscle type feel (pronounced feel in the upper arms).
