You are going to need to exercise hard for 6 days a week to make this work. If you can do this then it's possible, but barely.
Along with exercising hard for at least 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week, and if you count your calories and eat about 1200 calories a day (doesn't have to be exactly 1200), you can lose about 3lbs a week, which should get you right around your target. I recommend writing down the calories that you are eating each day so that you can better monitor what you are eating, and remember, that the calories you are eating is based on a portion size, so if you eat 2 servings of something, you will have to record double the calories on the package.
Make sure you cut out sweets, soda, candy, fried food and all junk food in general. Also try to drink a gallon of water each day, as that will help you achieve your goals. Eat slow, chew slow, take your time eating. If you eat too fast, by the time your brain realizes that you're full, you've already overeaten.
Be sure to let your mom know what you're doing so she doesn't think you're acting abnormal!
