Welcome to HCM,
Hello,If the weight is as per your height than you need not worry ,dieting for a teenager is not advised as this is your growing period and dieting may have bad impact on your growth,NO you don't gain weight in the growing spurt as the height and weight increases together
Does
1.Eat a balanced diet 3 times a day
2.Take lots of fiber rich diet ,this will control your weight
3.Avoid unhealthy snakes ,fried snakes
4.Drink lots water
5.Daily walking/exercise
Thank you
