Eat healthy and exercise; two things i bet you're not doing run crunches

I think just your basic eating right and exercise. But 130lbs isn't fat. That is pretty healthy.

About three yrs wen u FINISH PUBERTY...if u exercise n stuff ur not really gonna change ur shape...

Gaining that much weight in that amount of time at your age is called PUBERTY! If you really want to be healthy and in shape then just find a good work out and eat healthy food. Healthy is different for everybody so you have to find what works for you.

Eat more smaller, healthy meals throughout the day. And for exercising during the winter I would try Pilates it'll help you tone the muscles.

Your 14 do you understand that your body is still developing and you dont need to do anything... trust me give it 10 years and you will see a huge change! Stop stressing and just enjoy food. YOU DONT NEED TO DIET!

You could try to do some sit-ups, you can lose weight really fast, but remember you can gain it faster

First of all, you can't reduce fat in a specific area. for example, have u seen a a guy with a 6pack and a double chin? have u seen a girl with slim thighs and thick calfs? no, you can't control where your body loses fat. so to lose fat on your stomach and legs you gotta lose fat everywhere. try running? also at 14 you're still growing. i'm 23, and a lot of my girl friends that are skinny ,are also freaking short. 5'4 is pretty good, but u should keep eating so u can get up to 5'6 or 7. in the mean time just exercise (1 mile jogging with some crunches and push ups everyday will definitely do the trick) drink a ton of water!! u can't lose weight without your pee being clear.

Im 5'4 and 126......umm i guess u can workout but u dont need to lose alot of weight......try any exercise that makes u sweat...sweating melts ur fat(running, cycling, treadmill, full body workouts) drink alot of water and eat healthy....cut out sugars and breads from ur diet and the extra weight should come off.....but ur only 14.....so dont put too much pressure on yourself. if u just wanna lose in certain areas do target training.....like for abs...wear a waist trimming belt(u can buy it at wal mart for $6 in the sprorts department) when u exercise and do ab exercises...for ur thighs...lunges and sqauts work best! good luck!

I think it's just your imagination. 113lbs at 5,4 " is underweight. You're weight is good, certainly healthy for your height. It's normal for your stomache to stick out a bit, and it's normal for you to carry more fat in some places, and less in others. You can't just lose weight in specific areas, but you can tone those areas to make them less flabby. If it bothers you, maybe try doing some crunches for your stomache, and lunges for your legs? Running is good too. It boosts your mood, and is really, really good for your body.

Marathon, sit up and push up.. control your eating

1 > you arnt that fat for your height, and the weight gain is probably just a teen phase, same thing happened to me around your age. 2 > you cant spot reduce weight, so dont do sit ups and stuff other wise the muscles will get bigger and make u look even fatter, thank you very much other posters! because if you exersize you loose weight through your WHOLE body. that means by running you'll also lose fat on your arms! 3 > it will take you a while to see big results, a month or 2 maybe 4 > exersize tips....run, best way to lose weight, ever. 5 > cut out junk food completely, its fattening and has next to no nutritional value, and fills you up so you cant eat the healthy food! goodluck.
