i'm 12, about 5" 9' near 170...I don't get my body, because I can easily drop 20 pounds just in the snap of a finger but the next i would have gained those back +5...I just don't get it...I have been lifting but I loose some weight then gain it back...By lifting i mean benching. What would be a proper diet...And in these 20 pounds, you can't tell...

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

the reason why one day you can weight a few more or less pounds is related to the amount of water that your body has retained , therefore the more water your body retains -- the more you will way and viseversa k?
dont weight your self everyday bcuz that will turn into a routine and then into an eating problem :-)
