What sould i do??

Hi, i'm 13 years old and i do not know what to do. My friends say i'm not fat, but i feel like i am. I am 7 stone 13 pounds and i do gymnastics 18 hours a week. I am not sure whether to go on a diet or not. Also, i am trying to get a six pack, but i don't know how to do so. I do sit ups and leg crunches but should i go on a diet too??

Never thought 6 pack all that attractive on girls.

How tall are you?  You only weigh 98 pounds; that's not very much and if you do gymnastics for 18 hrs/week, you can't be fat.

It sounds highly unlikely that you need to go on a diet.  At 13, your body isn't even fully developed yet; dieting unnecessarily, at your age could cause a variety of health issues.
