well my opinion is the best thing what you can do now is to take your daughter in confidance. Be her best friends rather than just being parents. Trust her even if you are sure that she is lying. Dont argue with her at that time, after sometime when you feel the suitable situation have a talk on that subject & just intimate her indirectly that you are knowing that she was lying & still you belived her. By doing this twice & thrice you will gain the confidance of her. She will feel free to talk clearly with you & you might go to the root cause why she strated lying with you, whther because of any fear or any other reason.

The age of your daughter is very versatile & she may have different mood changes & diffrent beliefs but this is just because of her adolcent age.

& if you still think , you are not able to handel her take her to the psychological counselar who has the skill to tackle such situations & go to the root cause of such behaviour.
