Ok first off I'm 5'2, Sixteen years old, and I weigh 175 pounds. I am over weight and for the past three weeks I have gotten serious about losing weight. My target goal is to lose 15-30 pounds by next birthday, which is in August. Currently I go on the tredmile for 30-45 minutes a day at a speed of 3.5 and a speed of 4.0 for the last 5 minutes. I do this 5 or 6 days out of the week. I also eat a whole lot better. I eat a salad just about everyday, more fruits, more veggies. I cut down on the soda( I only have one at school, or as a last resort) and replaced em with more water and tea. I also do 5-10 minutes of working out with dumbells every other day(not to extreme), and I was thinking about doing some crunches to help tone and help burn off the tummy.
So yeah basicly I'm new to all of this weight loss stuff, so can you tell me what I need to add or take out of my whole regiment in order to reach my goal. Thanks in advance.

you are doing good overall.
cut out soda at all - one can has almost 200cal.
doing crunches will give more muscle on your abs but it wont burn any fat there. having more muscle in general means that your body needs more calories for energy so you burn more calories threw out the day.

Sounds pretty good but make sure you are using low calorie dressing on your salads if you are loading it up with dressings such as ranch you may as well be eating a bacon cheeseburger. Also be very careful with fast food salads many of them contain more calories than a value meal.

it seems like you're doing pretty good, but if you do find it too much, just lessen it and keep going. be consistent with what you're doing

Proteins takes more time to digest than carbs so eating protein will make you feel full for longer
