Walk around to your neighbors and ask them for chores that you know you are capable of doing. Examples: shovel snow, rake leaves, pull weeds, mow lawn, sweeping driveway/walk/porch, washing car, walking dog, bathing dog, carry/stack firewood, paint fence, clean garage. There are literally dozens more things you can do in or around your neighbor's homes. Don't be shy, just ask for work.

Sounds like you've got a ton of AMBITION!!! That's good. Ask your parents if you can do your own garage sell. If they say no then look around your neighborhood for cars to wash or lawns to mow. You can charge whatever you want (maybe $5.00 for a car and $10.00 for a lawn). What your charging is a service fee.
Besides cars and lawns there may be other "projects" you could get paid to do. Just take a close look in your neighborhood and the surrounding area.
Finally make sure you let your parents know what you're doing. they could offer some ideas or know someone who needs help and is willing to pay.

Work for your parents. Ask them for jobs with fair pay. Not 25 cents to take out the trash or something. Be a regular lawn mower for your dad. 25 dollars for it. Or you can go out in your neighborhood and mow lawns. That what I did.

Mow lawns. Some parents might let you babysit, but I personally think you're too young for it. And did you say you have been dieting? At your age? I think you're trying to grow up too fast. Stay a kid while you can. You'll miss it when it's gone. Life is tough sometimes.

My son mows grass in the neighborhood. Also, look for elderly neighbors who need help. My son helps a little old lady across the street. She pays him to sweep her sidewalk, clean trash up out of her yard, clean out her bird feeder, things like that which she can't do very well. So definitely look for elderly people in the area who might really appreciate someone to help them do little things that are too hard for them to do. Good-luck!

Mow lawns or if you live near a corner grocery store, something like a mom and pops type store then maybe they will let you do chores for money.
