Hi Jody, I'm wondering how old you are and if you really need to lose weight.  I've always had, what appeared to be, fat pockets on my inner thighs but really wasn't, even when I only weighed 95 or 100 lbs.  You may not need to lose weight; perhaps you only need to tone your muscles.

You need to be careful about restricting your calories too much, because you might not be fully grown or your body might not be fully developed.  You'll need enough of the right kind of calories to make sure your growth and development are on schedule.  

If you can tell us how old you are, how much you weigh and how tall you are, we can help come up with a better plan.

You need to diet and exercise! That being said you can't spot reduce. when you diet you will reduce fat all over.
As for diet restrict your intake of calories your body will burn stored fat for energy and your inner thighs will start to shrink.
Try to restrict 1,000-calories per day. Select fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, beans and whole grains Watch the fruits as most contain high amounts of sugar. Replace all drinks that have high sugars with water to promote faster weight loss. Have a glass of water as soon as you sit down to eat, to fill yourself up.
Now for exercise, You should do interval workouts! If you have a bike ride easy for 5 minutes to warm your muscles then ride as fast as you can for 15 seconds then easy for 30 seconds. You do this back and forth for 30 minutes then for 5 minutes you go easy to cool down.
You can do this routine with just about anything. Like running, jump rope,
jumping jacks. google types of interval training.
Other exercises to also do are squats. Perform 10 to 12 reps, and do four or five sets of this and all other exercises.
You should also do adductions exercises. google these exercises and add
how to do them at home without equipment.
Lie on the floor knees bent feet flat on the floor put a large ball like a volley ball, beach ball, or basket ball between your knees squeeze it forcefully for a full 3-5 seconds, release the tension and repeat for a set of repetitions.
