Answers:

Growing, definitely growing. Don't worry! You're on your way to become a woman :)

It could also have something to do with your menstrual cycle; I always get reeeally hungry the week before I have my period. It's the hormones. And you're in that age right now, your body is naturally changing and with that comes changes in appetite and hormone imbalances.

Don't worry! Eat when you're hungry, but ONLY when and as long as you're hungry, and avoid sugar as far as possible is you're afraid of getting fat. Just listen to your body, it knows what it needs. If you do, I can guarantee you won't get fat.

And please don't start dieting. Many girls who start dieting in your situation, when their body starts to change, develop an eating disorder. And that's not something you want - living with it is like a life in hell, and it's not attractive at all.

Be healthy, be beautiful and listen to what your body tells you! :)

Experience



No way in heck that we could tell if you're fat or not from a number. 2 guys could tell you that one of em weighs 350 and the other weighs 225, yet when you see them the 350 pounder could be lean and shredded while the 225 guy has a beer belly. Weight is only a number. It depends on your muscle to fat ratio and other factors. So obviously if you think you're getting fat you probably are. Start exercising more.



As was said, you're just growing into an adult, having a kids body as an adult is creepy, so be happy you are.

And reality check, your BMI is just over 20 so it'd be crazy to loose over 20lbs.
