The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohal, and sodas.
Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.
In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)
Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.
Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)
Go exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea.
Good luck!!

You'll want to check your Body Mass Index, or BMI. BMI estimates your body fat percentage based on your height and weight. The important thing is that you're eating right and exercising. If you eat a balanced diet, exercise, and your BMI is normal, then you're set. If you're in doubt as to your diet, talk to your doctor or a dietician. The average dress size for American women is a 12. If you're not a size 0, 2, or 4, it doesn't mean you're fat.

Well if you think your overweight then start working out and jog and stuff. If your friends at true friends they won't say your skinny or fat. It is up to you to know if your overwieght or not. Go to yahoo to check what weight should you be in at your age.

You can check if you're overweight according to today's definition by calculating your Body Mass Index. Normal is between 19.5 to 25 kg/m2.
A good website for this is the CDC website below.

I encourage you to take a look.
