Hello
I share your concern.
Looking at your description your symptoms might be related to liver disease like jaundice or hepatitis, Acid peptic disease due to stomach hyperacidity, or could be normal due to hormonal changes at your age.
I would advise you for a battery of investigation like blood for CBC, ESR, Liver function test, urine test and upload me the reports for further discussion.
Meanwhile I would advise you to take antiacidity medicine like ranitidine or pantoprazole group of drugs with antacids for 4-5days and multivitamin supplement for two weeks.
You should take lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet, try to avoid Fatty fried spicy and junk food and carbonated beverages.
do spare some time for physical exercise or games.
Hope this answers your question please feel free to ask for follow up question I will be happy to help you.
Best wishes
