'wegen' and 'in Anbetracht' can both name a reason or an important circumstance. 'wegen' is the normal preposition for a direct reason: 'wegen des Regens' (because of the rain), 'wegen eines Termins' (because of an appointment). It works very well in everyday language. 'in Anbetracht' is a fixed, more formal expression. It is used more when you take a circumstance into account in a decision or evaluation, for example in reports, official texts, or serious conversations. The words can be confused because both introduce a reason. Put simply: 'wegen' names the cause; 'in Anbetracht' means more like 'when one considers this circumstance'.
