No, you don't want a pill. They are scams.

It will take conscious and mindful eating of fruits and veggies, NOT eating foods made with flour and sugar, and being more active (walking, swimming, yoga, tai chi). Currently, there is no magic pill.

Uhm, there is no pill for this. You can waste years of your life looking for a quick fix or you can accept at your young age that a healthy diet and moderate exercise are the best way to loose and maintain your weight at a healthy level without destroying your health and lowering your metabolism. Try having 5 small snack-sized meals a day - one every 3 to 5 hours. Then you can perhaps take off the weight in 10 months or a year, making steady progress each month toward your goal, and be how you want a year from now.

Try to avoid simple carbohydrates like the white foods - white rice, white potatoes, noodles and so on and replace them with more complex carbohydrates like brown rice, small baked potatoes including the skin (for fiber and nutrients) and whole wheat pasta. Increase your intake of fruits (two a day is good) and vegetables (5 servings a day). Drink more water, eliminate sugary drinks. Avoid alcohol (you're too young for another year anyway) and just move more. Start by walking 1/2 hour a day at as brisk a pace as you can maintain - where it's a little hard but not exhausting. After a week, run one minute, walk 9 for three cycles. After another week, run 2 minutes and walk 8. Then 3 and 7 and so on until you can run for a half an hour. Drink more water. If you feel like having junk food or anything you don't really need nutritionally, put it off for a half hour. Then if you really, really still want it - allow yourself a bite. Not a whole bowl of ice cream, just a taste. If you screw up one day, just commit to do better the next. Don't skip meals and don't try to "make up" for mistakes - just start fresh every morning and do the best you can that day. Don't mess up one day and decide you "blew the whole diet". That's stupid. It's about improving steadily over time and adopting new habits, and you will screw up sometimes.

It's not fast but it works. When you try "fast" solutions to being overweight, what happens is that you make no progress and years from now, you end up weighing even more and you progressively destroy your metabolism. It takes a while to get overweight and it takes a while to take it off. If you just calm down, forget how long it's going to take and start being mindful about your choices, you could be 10 pounds lighter a month from now. 20 two months from now, and so on. Slow, steady improvements. That's the way to go about it.

And KNOW that there will be days, weeks and months when you will gain a little or stay the same. Expect it and ignore it. Stick with eating healthy, moving more. Don't expect so much perfection that you can't maintain it. But hold yourself accountable - if you have a bad day, don't allow yourself a second bad day. Don't try to make up later for mistakes - just start doing better moving forward.

Every pill they've come out with had horrible side effects, and they still require diet and exercise anyway. Why risk defects to your heart valves or things like that when you still have to change your behavior anyway? Just change the behavior and it will work without the pill. If it's too much to change things all at once, that's OK too. Just give up one thing this month like pop. Next month add something else like your evening dessert - instead of every day, just have it on Sundays and make it something really wonderful and worth it in a normal individual serving. Learn what a single serving is and just have that much of things. Slow, steady, mindful improvements.

First, I am not going to look up the chart today, but 130 I believe is not a healthy weight for that height but too little.

But to get started, yes your weight is currently too high, There is no magic pill, they are scams and will just get you to lose money, not weight.
Now some good basic vitamins and green herbal tea is good for you, but so is a good well balanced diet.

Cut out all soda, cut out all processed foods, use fresh veggies, cut down on the meat intake. Stop all fast foods Drink lots and lots of water and/or green tea.

Exercise, walking, riding a bike, any exercise

Then start a exercise program. I started this myself 6 week ago, down 3 inches in waist, and almost 10 KG in weight.
