It's important to keep in consideration that he is 13 and this is an age where hunger in young men can sky rocket. It's all cues from his body preparing him for another growth spurt. Being a mother I know when my daughter starts pigging out that I'll need to buy her longer pants in a month. The body requires a lot of energy (calories) for these growth periods. I would suggest that he not worry about losing weight, but instead consume more healthy foods especially those loaded with calcium. Not only is calcium essential for healthly growth, but it is also been shown to reduce fat storage in the body specifically in the abdominal region.

He should lose anywhere from 25-40 pounds.

i think he should ask his doctor

A healthy weight for a 13 year old, 5'7" tall is around 130lbs. Use the BMI calculator from the CDC. At 170 lbs, he falls on the obese side. The website also has suggestions on how to lose weight.
