Hi, I got best answer for this before (the first bit) so someone thought it was worthwhile information and I think I'll continue to use it until people start being sensible about their body image and stop bowing to what they think they should look like.
There is no such thing as a safe quick weight loss. Diets and diet pills don't work they just act on the pituitary gland and make the body lose water (hence weight). It's good to exercise as anything which raises your pulse and makes you sweat is good. It may also be that you're not having enough calories as the body goes into "famine" mode if it doesn't get enough norishment and stores anything it does get as fat, rather than glucose. Every cell in your body respires and this uses energy, ie, food. Without enough energy, your metabolism slows and food is stored as fat. Incidentally, who says you need to lose weight and do you really need to lose the weight? The only thing guaranteed to get a body healthy (note I don't say "lose weight") is to exercise and eat a healthy, balanced, wide variety of foods plus the occasional treat in moderation (this stops any food becoming "naughty" and therefore craved). Please note that body muscle mass weighs four times more than body fat because the fibres are so much closer together. Some fat is important on the body though as it helps regulate hormonal levels in the body and prevents osteoporosis and other bone wasting diseases in later life. Some fat is important on women as too little can cause periods to stop and fertility problems. Women are designed differently to men and a totally flat stomach and no hips isn't healthy on a woman. The question to ask yourself is - do your clothes fit better and how do you look in a mirror - not how much do you weigh. If you think you look untoned, then incorporate some light weights (low weight, high repetitions) into your regime.
Additionally, I have friends who have taken up Pilates and although they never lost weight, their clothes looked fantastic on them, their posture improved and their entire bodies firmed up. I watched this happen. Pilates strengthens your core muscles (the ones that hold your skeleton in place) so correcting posture imbalances and making a slimmer shape. I believe that yoga also does this although I don't know anyone who has done this. Additionally, try dance (old style ballroom / salsa) as this is a fun way to tone up. Any excercise / activity that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat BUT IS FUN will ensure you stick to it and get fitter.
Additionally, drink lots of water. Lots of people eat when they are in fact thirsty. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first and if you're still hungry half an hour later, then eat. Eat sensibly and regularly and don't forget to eat breakfast (so named because it "breaks" the night's "fast"). Missing breakfast starts the day off badly as your body will just crave and store anything you eat later as fat.
Hope this helps.
Update - you didn't say you were only 13! Crikey, you haven't even started to become the woman you will be and please, please please don't start on the diet treadmill as it will mess up your body's metabolism. Your body is changing and developing and now is not a good time to put it under any additional stress by dieting. You need fat on your body to ensure it develops properly and you don't have bone thinning or fertility problems later in life.

Drink lots of ice cold water (it speeds up your metabolism which burns fat, and it gives you the sensation of being full). Wait 30 minutes after you eat breakfast and take a walk, every morning. If you are going to eat a large meal or a fattening one, do it at lunch because your body slows way down in the evening and it will not have time to burn off. If you are watching TV, suck in your stomach muscles and hold them for 30 seconds, do this in reps, as many as you can, as often as you can. Do an excercise routine about 3 times a week. Do NOT drink soda's (very fattening), stay away from salt, sugar, and bread. You mostly want to eat light, even if you snack (healthy snacks like yogurt or carrots). Before you go to bed, do crunches, squats and hold 5 lb weights and do some arm exs.

Worked for me really quickly
Don't need a gym to exercise. Walk and/or run. Do it non-stop for 30 minutes or more. Do basic things at home like squats, lunges, sit ups, push ups, chin ups etc. None of those need weights. Since those don't use a weight you will have to do more of them. On top of that cut back on your food intake.
How can you manage to sleep any time of the day, when u want ?
Try to exercise at least a few times a week, eat healthy foods, cut back on junk food. there's no easy way out. Walking is a good form of exercise that isn't too hard on your body, and no gym is required. Same with jogging, cycling (if you have a bike), and stuff like that.Also, you can get aerobics or Pilates videos. maybe your local library has them.
If you start doing this stuff now, it'll help. Why wait until August to get conditioned? By starting now, you can get a jump on the other cheerleaders who are waiting until August to try and get back into shape.
In the meantime, finding a swimsuit that emphasizes your good points could help as well.
