To lose weight, there's no quick fix to it.....
It's always the combo of exercise and healthy eating that does the job. And this combo takes time......
In your case, I would suggest you do the following:
1. Cardio 4-5 times per week for at least 30 mins, to start off. When your body's stronger, increase time to 45 min per session and when you're ready for the full-blast, go for 60 min per session, 4-5 times per week.
Cardio exercie is any exercise that revs up your heart rate (to exercise your heart and lungs and keep them in good shape)and cranks up your metabolism, to burn off excess body fat, to lose weight.
If you say running's not safe, what about rope jumping, jumping on a trampoline, dancing, swimming or just walking round your house compound? They're excellent cardios too.
Choose 1 or 2 exercise you love and interested in doing. That way, you'll enjoy every min of doing it and stay put long in the program, to see results.

2. Do strength-training using dumbbells, 3-4 times per week, for 15 - 20 mins per session.
Strength-training boosts your muscle growth and as muscle is metabolically active and burns off fat faster, the more muscle you've, the higher your metabolic rate, hence the more calories you burn off, to lose weight.
3. Eat a well-balanced, healthy weight loss nutritious diet.
This guide on eating healthy might be what you're looking for: http://www.perfect-body-toning.com/healthy-weight-loss-diets.html
If you consistently do the above, you'll lose, on average, 1-2 lb of weight in a week. This is the recommended healthy way to lose weight. In 6 months, you'll be able to lose 30 lbs, give and take.
Don't go for drastic weight loss program that doesn't base on a healthy way that enables you to change your eating habit and lifestyle properly.....

You should combine a healthy diet with your exercise plan, and you might want to add some strength training to your exercise routine (buy some hand weights and a good book to guide you).
Regarding your diet: You should cut out bad carbs (white bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, soda, desserts). Eat whole grains, vegetables, fruits, fat free or 1% milk, and lean protien. Don't restrict your calories too much or your body might think you're starving, which would cause your metabolism to slow down. Start with 1,800 calories a day for a couple of weeks and see how your weight responds. You have six months until summer, which is plenty of time to lose the weight. If you just lose 1.5 - 2 pounds a week, you'll reach your goal.
Good luck!

You're 15. How tall are you?
You say you don't look 220lb, so are you at least 5'6" and up?
At 15 and no limb problems. You can easily (with the help of mind over matter) walk a little further, go window shopping. Cut out sweets (mind over matter diet remember).....eat on a smaller plate. Eat at the same time every day. Don't eat after 6pm!
Drink lots of water (only one diet soda) does something to your chemistry.
Think healthy. Eat rabbit food, then spit it out (no vomitting) nutritional, even if when you just swallow the juices (per my brothers doctor)
and have a hamburger with no bread.
Warm drinks seem to soothe your tummy. And try Cinnamon chewing gum. sparks your tongue.
And just keep moving.
Don't allow someone else to use your calories. You get up and get the remote. You get out of the car and go into the store and walk around for as long as possible....keep moving.

It mostly has to do with diet. Diet 1- if it tastes good, spit it out! Diet 2- If you don't recognize it as a real food, (Apple, celery, lettuce something natural that grows) don't eat it. If you are really serious, and stay under about 1500 cal/day, you will loose weight. Eat good food, drink plenty of water, take supplemental vitamins and minerals That includes salt- use real salt if you can find it,. it has trace minerals. Best wishes.

Concentrate on what you eat. Your diet is way more important than how you train in the process of changing your body. Set a more realistic goal like 20lbs.
