You’re 16yo and 5’1 so you’d probably stunt your growth and miss out on you last growth spurt is you try eating less.
You should eat more and exercise a lot (like all day long, at a sports camp) to trigger your last growth spurt.
I was short like you but skinny as a stick at 16 (looking more like a 100lbs 13yo). I still gained 4 inches in one month at a sport camp, eating like an ogre, tons of healthy food, and going on 100km (62.5 miles) bike rides.
Each inch above 5 feet that you gain makes you look like 5 pounds lighter.
If you’d be 5’5 that would be 20 pounds you would not have to lose and end up a short fat adult.
You can drop a dress size (losing an inch on your body measurements) if you do aerobics to lose body fat and weight training to gain muscle mass (getting in shape) WITHOUT losing total body weight on a scale (muscle mass takes 3 times less space than body fat), but the only time I did that, it took me 90 days (3 months) surely not a week and I knew what I was doing (tallying calorie intake/expenditures, keeping track of my BFP, having the perfect workout routine, 3 aerobics (walking/jogging, biking, swimming, using a HRM), 20 anaerobics with good form, enough rest days, plenty of sleep and the perfect diet at the right time).
According to Secrets of Muscle, eat 15 calories per pound of your current body weight to maintain your current body weight. To lose body fat, begin decreasing your calorie intake by eating 11 calories per pound of your body weight. Decrease your calorie intake slowly because a drastic change in calorie intake may cause your body to burn muscle tissue instead of fat, according to Iron Magazine.
