Your weight sounds good for your age (depending on your height), and if you're a soccer player then you're already reasonably fit.
So I don't think you need to be worrying about losing weight! Remember that you're still growing (and will do for the next 5-10 years).
Your diet just needs to be balanced: pizza once or twice a week is fine (it is the best food known to man, after all!), plenty of vegetables, fruit, fish and easy on the meat. Soda only with your pizza, and sorry - no beer...
30 minutes of exercise a day (brisk walking, running, swimming, jogging, aerobics or whatever) is plenty, if you're already training. You're probably fitter than most people your age!

Well, to start with you are about five years too young to be thinking about any of this. But if you insist on thinking about it, here is my opinion.....
Dieting actually makes people fatter because it messes up the body's natural processes.
Think about it.
How many diets are there out there? How many decades have the dieting industry been pushing them? If any of them actually worked then there would not be hundreds of them. How can you "go on a diet" diet temporarily (say three months) then go back to eating "normally"? You will just put on the weight again. The more often you "diet" the sooner you will give up whichever one you are on.
The best thing to do is eat healthily. This means eat more fresh (or good quality frozen) fruit and vegetables and less refined cr*p like sweets (candy) and white bread and cakes and stuff. Beans of all sorts are good. Eat a proper breakfast and regular healthy snacks throughout the day like an apple or something.
And if you exercise then do some more walking (somewhere safe obviously) and swimming. Or other stuff you enjoy so it is not a chore.
You don't say how tall you are - you could be the right shape anyway.
I'm thirty five and I've never been overweight. If I feel like I'm getting a bit fat I just eat less ice-cream and stuff and walk a bit more.
The worst thing you can do is start worrying about your weight and go on weird diets, it really is.
Also avoid making friends with people who talk about diets all the time - they will only drag you down, some of them are very competitive about something that is basically pretty boring when you think about it. They may want to make the size of their backside a major issue in their life but it doesn't mean everyone else has to.
And regarding weight - numbers are pretty meaningless anyway as muscle weighs more than fat but looks thinner.
Good luck.

Hi I'm going by way of the identical trouble as you proper now. I'm the identical weight and peak as you and I additionally desire to get to 143 haha. Well anyhow establishing with you consuming at all times is how I was once. I learned that I was once consuming in view that I was once bored. I could devour and devour and devour til I discovered whatever to do. Just attempt to discover a passion or whatever to hold your brain and palms busy. I like fixing puzzles. If you do get hungry get a small bowl or plate and positioned a few end result and/or veggies. For your thighs do squats and lunges . Before you fall asleep and while you get up do like 30. When your mother chefs for dinner drink a colossal glass of water earlier than your meal so that you get complete rapid and ur ready not to obtain any weight. My motivation I use is while I see a relatively colossal individual (no longer being imply) I consistently suppose to myself "do I desire to seem like them? Do you desire to have got to put on dimension 20 pants or XXXL shirts?" That is helping me plenty. Hope you'll be able to achieve your target :)
