You're at the age of change and you'll be there for many more years. You won't have your "man bones" (max testosterone) until your early to mid 20s. Until then, you are a work in progress and you'll go through dynamic biological changes as you develop naturally into your adult form.

There are some things you can and should be doing to prepare yourself for becoming the best possible adult you can be including learning about health, diet, nutrition, fitness, exercise, etc. However, you will not have the control over your body and it's appearance adults do because of the many changes you will be experiencing.

The best website to help you with good information about your growing and changing body is this one --> http://teenshealth.org/teen/ Use the search box in the sidebar on the left to find the answers to your questions. This website has a wealth of information for tweens and teens and has the recommendation of the US National Institute of Health. Bookmark it and use it.

In the mean time, don't rush yourself. Don't try to take shortcuts to that which must happen naturally...physical growth and development. And above all, stay away from the abundance of myths circulating in this forum and the sphere of supplements, fitness, bodybuilding, etc. Stick with real science. Here are some other good, reliable resources for information. Avoid websites which are trying to sell you stuff.

Reps in all of your workouts
instead of doing 50lb curls 2 times, do 2lb curls 50 times
this method will burn fat quickly while toning your body.
once you are satisfied with how you look
move on to something heavier, but always make sure you can do at least 10 reps of it 3 times

your metabolism depends on other things like how easy it is to gain/lose weight, which foods you crave the most, how hungry you get between meals, how full you feel after eating, etc.

You're 14. That's why.
Your body isn't finished developing yet.
Wait a few more years.

... 14?

When I was 14 everyone looked either tweaker skinny or as if they liked eating cake. What do you expect?
