A bowel cleanse is one way to start.
Eat healthy and exercise every day. Include lots of crunches and lateral crunches.
Good luck

In order to lose fat you need to improve your diet (stay away from junk food).
Here is a link that can give you guidance on how to lose weight.

You will need to learn which foods you can eat and which food will prevent you from losing weight. Generally low fat protein sources such as chicken, turkey, and fish, egg whites, etc. are good to eat. Red meat is fine once in awhile, but if you want to lose weight it is best to stay away from it for awhile because it is higher in fat. Fruit and veggies are obviously very important too. Never eat white bread or pasta. Eat whole wheat food such as Fiber One cereal. Many cereals are high in sugar and you should avoid sugar if you want to lose weight. Oatmeal is good too, but it has to be the large flake type, Not instant or pre-packaged flavour oatmeal because it has been processed and sugar has been added in the flavoured ones. Add your own flavour to oatmeal such as cinnamon, splenda (or stevia) and vanilla. For dairy, drink skim (non-fat) milk and plain yogurt with no sugar. You can add berries to sweeten the yogurt and add flavour. Cottage cheese is also a good source of protein, it is good if you mix it with fruit, I prefer slices of orange or mandarin oranges.It’s a good idea to keep a food diary and track your weight,
This website does all the work (calculations) for you http://www.fitday.com
It will tell you how many calories you eat and lots of other stuff!
You need to do cardiovascular exercise to burn fat. Some activities burn more fat than others. Here is a link where you can enter your personal information, choose an activity, duration and it will calculate the calories you burn.

Surf the web to find others. The important thing is work hard enough to get your heart rate up.Here is a link to a target heart rate calculator.

Weightlifting will also cause you to lose weight by raising your metabolism. The faster your metabolism is, the more calories you burn. Don’t worry, weightlifting will not cause you to look like a bodybuilder. It will tone your muscles and your body will look sexy, slim and curvy. Nobody wants to look like Nicole ‘Skeletor’ Ritchie.
As you can see there is alot of work involved in losing fat. If it was that easy everybody would be thin. It’s not easy, that’s why there are so many obese people. It takes two important things, work and education to lose weight. This should get you started!!!

Diet & exercise! I lost 10 lbs in a week eating healthy (good proteins like grilled chicken, fruits, veggies, whole grains) – eating smaller portions… I didn’t drink any soda (even diet) just milk & juice… always eat something for breakfast – even string cheese, a bagel or nutrigrain bar is good. Drink lots of water. As for the working out… I’d do about 30 min of weights and 30 min of cardio (on the treadmill) – many fitness centers will have instructors that can show you how to use the equipment and give you an idea of what you should do… websites like http://www.ediets.com are helpful. I really used http://www.fitday.com alot because you can log what you eat and how you work out and it calculates the calories you took in & calories you burned… there’s info on both of those sites that are free.

i dont know how to advise you for the best, or wat part of your teens your in if the first part then cut out junk and exercise more if in the second part as before but diet as well theres a safe one advertised on tv everyone i know who has tried it has said it works what you do is get a cereal such as corn flakes or weetabix and have two unsweetened bowls of that a day (breakfast and dinner/ breakfast and lunch) and a normal meal that your three meals a day keep this up for two weeks and you will be a dress size smaller,(if you are at the start of your teens im not sure it will work as your body is still going through major changes all your woman bits are finding where and how they work so you can t really expect to stay flat at this stage in your life) the top end of teens though that will all be settling down so you can do as you like
