are you talking about yourself? so how much do you weigh? why do you want to loose weight? school started and your noticing a lot of skiny tiny girls? well thats becus all they ate al summer was carrots. dont change who you are just for attention.
if its for health reasons and if your just not happy on how you look, then i say its okay for a 16yr old to diet.
you are a girl, right?
well you shouldnt take any pills. those have really bad sideaffects. they can get you way fatter and when you stop taking them they will back fire.
so you should cut sweets out of your meals. stop drinking soda forever and ever amen.
see how that works out. give yourself a month to notice results. but you do have to keep in mind that you need to excersise and stop going to fast foods too. then you will notice a change.

don't jus diet, make lifestyle changes
like:
-drink 100 fl.oz. or more water a day
-eat more veggies than anything else, but do eat fruit (morning is best)
-become vegan (no meat, milk, eggs, geletin, etc.)
-try to eat organic raw foods
-eat bout 6 small meals a day, every 2-3 hours
-don't eat breads, try rice and sweet potatos
-eat a larg varity of foods, not all the same ones everyday
-drink teas everyday... like green tea, matcha, white tea, jasmine, wu long, etc.

If you think about it, every human has a diet(so it's not a nasty word referencing being overweight)
it's never to early or too late to eat healthy.

Yes. Diet when you need to. There are some 10 year olds I have seen that need to diet.

If you mean by a "diet" not eating rubbish fast food, high fat and sugar items and cutting out sweet soda drinks the answer is yes, it is really healthy.
