how to lose 12.75 pounds a month for 4 months?

i'm 14, a girl, my height is 5'3.5, weight is 171.6, and have type 1 diabetes. I WILL do any work IF it's free, and i am going to eat healthy all the time cause i'm not going to have a cheat day, and i gain weight if i eat ANYTHING unhealthy. i don't drink soda at all just water and diet green tea. i can jump rope, walk, soccer, sit ups, crunches, jumping jacks, and some other things i probably have not named. i do count my calories on the computer with this website called loseit.com and in a notebook, just in case the computer wrong or power. my total weight loss is 51 pounds to be 120 at a healthy weight for my height and age, and it would be good for my diabetes. and just answer my question cause i got off topic :( hate when i do that!!!

    You can't lose weight that fast unless you want it to come back. Aim to lose 1-2 kg a week.

    This is a long term goal so it'll take longer than 4 months. Maybe even up to a year!

    Throw away the scale! That thing is unhealthy in the sense of mental health and unnecessary guilt (which your building yourself up to by not letting yourself any treats). You don't need a cheat DAY, even a small piece of dark chocolate is fine each day, which is actually healthy.

    Exercise 3-5 days a week with cardio 30-60 minutes. 3 days a week strength training too, to build muscles so you can lose more fat.

    And yes eating clean is good but don't deprive yourself or you WILL binge and gain weight. Moderation is the key so you still have control of your intake.
