Bro, if your description of yourself is accurate, losing any more weight would be unhealthy, you are already skinny for that age and height. Not to be rude or anything, but its probably more of a mental problem than anything else. Personally, i play football, 14 years old, 5″9 and i weigh 175. linebacker. it sounds like ur pretty thin.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOOSE WEIGHT. I’m 14, 5’9 1/2 and weigh 139 pounds. If you want to tone up, try any kind of exercise. Look in Seventeen magazine and CosmoGIRL!. They have great healthy recipes and exercises. You should try toning up, not losing weight.
Plus, if you’re like me, you have friends who are 5′ to 5’6 and weigh 90 – 120 pounds and you feel huge. Well, think of it this way – the average weight you should be at is 100 pounds [for 5 feet] + 5 lbs for every inch. You therefore, would be 152.5 pounds.
Look at this –

Be happy you’re healthy.

Eat a lot of foods with very low fat content such as grains and legumes.

You dont need to lose weight, but you can tighten it by doing alot of situps and thigh workout such as squat, lunges.
