I'm not sure of weight brackets for a 13 yr old, but you should look online. There are lots of sites where you can plug in your info and it will tell you if you are over weight. And if you are, good old fashioned workout will do it. Eat healthier, and stay active. Lay off the junk food and video games. Get outside and move. You will loose the weight in no time. Also, you are so young, you will grow into it and you will be fine. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you are seriously obese. Which I don't think you are.
Be patient, weight doesn't melt off in a day.

The natural “diet”: Eat, drink, and be merry
Eat smart – well-balanced meals, cut out any unnecessary calories (snacking just because), eat when you are hungry (grumbling stomach, hunger pains) and only eat until you are satisfied (not a bite more), 5-6 smaller meals is better than 3 larger ones. Also, stop eating 2-3 hours before bed – you should be slightly hungry at bed time
Drink plenty of water, not only to stay hydrated, but its important for weight loss, including helping the muscles tone and suppressing hungry. (Tip – the lighter your urine the more hydrated you are.)
Be merry – in other words exercise, not only is it needed for weight loss, it releases chemicals in your brain and makes you more happy (some of it is addicting which is known to a lot as “runner’s high”). 30 minutes of cardio is recommended daily, and a good work out program uses cardio and weight training (even if it’s just toning – light weights, more reps). Do something you enjoy and it will be easier to stick it out.

pick up a 5 or 10 pound weight at the gym and visualize that weight coming off holding the weight in your hands helps bring home just how heavy even 5 pounds of extra fat can be
