Answer
I would simply cut back on the amount of fat and empty calories that you are eating.  Empty calories are those without nutritional value, such as junk food, desserts, soda, etc.

You need a fair amount of calories at your age, but if you eat predominantly fresh fruit and veggies, lean protein, and complex carbs, you should do well.
