One answer

It depends on other factors such as, do you intend to include exercise. A 12-year-old should lose weight under medical supervision. This is the age where bone density and other physical developments are taking place, and a poor diet or minimal intake of nutrients could cause long lasting effects that will carry through to adulthood. In addition, counting carbohydrates, rather than severely restricting calories, will avoid slowing down your metabolism and will therefore help weight loss.

Another answer

It depends on your height and other factors so ask your doctor at your back-to-school physical.
