I think the best place to start is to ask your parents to make an appointment with your trusted GP to talk through these thoughts and have your health assessed. You’re not an adult yet and your body is changing.

I'll do that, thank you!

Great decision. I wish I’d known at your age that there can be many things going on with your body health-wise that really just need medical supervision. And that the person you’ll be is always evolving and changing. Don’t be hard on yourself and don’t do anything rash. Keep a little notebook and record all your eating and activity for a while, then see if you can make any small manageable tweaks. For example, you might notice that you didn’t eat any fresh fruit last week, and this week, have some each day and see if you feel different. It doesn’t all have to boil down to the number on the scale, too. You’ve got a big long life ahead and you can’t succeed if you’re at war with yourself.

If you’re under 18, any dietary advice must be given by a GP.

As far as activities go, try to hit 10k steps a day for a start and see how that fares
