1) 30 minutes of exercise daily
2) smaller, healthier doses. DO NOT CUT OUT FOOD ENTIRELY! Just eat smaller doses.
3) When eating out, order an entree instead of a meal, and plan to save half of it.
4) No junk food or soda, but give yourself a small treat every once in a while.
5) DRINK A LOT OF WATER! It helps retain muscle mass and the more you exercise, the more hydration you need.
Be aware that to lose weight and actually keep it off, there are no quick fixes. The long way around is long term.
Your BMI (body mass index) is 21.0 - a healthy BMI falls between 18.5 and 25. You are the perfect weight for your height. Even though you may not be entirely happy with your weight, you are healthy, so gain or lose a few pounds if you want, but don't go too crazy!

The average human head weighs about that much..... just kidding :) Depends on your time requirements.. the healthiest and surest way to lose unwanted weight and keep it off is to make sure you are only consuming the same number of calories that you are burning in a day. If you consume a few less then you will lose weight.. then bump it up to the correct amount once you have lost the 25 pounds

airborne_clay is right.. your weight is perfect for your height. you just need to build some muscles and shape up. Hit the gym and do cardio and some basic weight lifting to firm up your body. i would suggest some leg raises and leg curls for your legs.. work on your arms as well (bicep curls, tricep raise), do lots of machine sit ups and squats ALSO work on your back.. do lat pulls and use the row machine.. this will get rid of your baby fat on your back since you're just 13. do this 3x a week, eat right..most of the people here are giving you great food advice and i'm giving you about 2 months and you'll have a perfect 10 body! man..if you were just 18! kiddin.. good luck!

Here we offer some information on some of the best cardio exercise.
Walking: Walking is one of the easiest exercises. It is suitable for people of all ages and various lifestyles. If you are a beginner, walk at medium pace. Then keep on increasing your pace so that you can achieve your ideal target heart rate. Increase resistance by walking uphill to increase heart rate. Besides being an excellent cardio exercise, walking will uplift your spirit.
Bicycling: Bicycling is an exercise meant to develop your strength and agility. People of all ages and fitness levels can do it safely. Ride on slight slopes to increase resistance and achieve your target heart rate.
Swimming: Swimming is a perfect exercise for the entire body and improves your cardiovascular fitness. It is beneficial to the people suffering from joint pains since water provides support and natural resistance to your body. Swim with different strokes to exercise different muscles. This will maintain balance in your workout. It is a great exercise that allows you to reach your ideal target heart rate very fast.
Elliptical Exercise: Exercising on an elliptical exerciser is another great cardio exercise. It offers full body workout and greatly enhances cardiovascular fitness. Your motions on the elliptical exerciser are similar to your normal body movements. It reduces the stress and heavy impact on you muscles and joints, thus making your workout safer.

drinking a lot of water helps you lose weight..it boosts your metabolism. also eating healthy foods and portions. eat a lot of fruit, but fresh fruit not canned, canned has a sugar based syrup in it. also take a walk at night. even if its only around the block
best of luck to you

well if that is what you think then you are not mature enough to make decisions for yourself wisely, because you are trying to become unhealthy
