Eat a big healthy breakfast. Drink lots of water. NO soda pop even if it's diet. Eat smaller meals throughout the day.

Your biggest problem without a doubt is that you're completely overtraining! By working out 2-3 hrs/day about 5 days a week, you're body is screaming for precious recovery time and has most likely severely plateaued. Your body absolutely needs quality time to recover from intense workouts and without this, it will simply start shutting down. I highly recommend cutting back on your training and focusing on only 1 hour of intense training per day for a maximum of 4 days a week. Its great to break up your 1 hour training routine into 30 minutes of high intensity weight training and finishing off with 30 minutes of high intensity cardio training. Push each weight training set to positive failure and really work your muscles. Once your weight training is finished, move right into your cardio routine. Choose high intensity cardio exercises which will burn more calories and keep your body's metabolism stoked throughout the day. Great examples are sprints, jumping rope and spinning. This may also stimulate muscle growth and strength in your weight training routine.The second major thing is to really look at what your eating everyday. Make sure you document everything you eat and drink into a diet journal.M ake sure to limit all simple sugars (fruit, etc.) after 6pm. Your insulin levels are very sensitive at night and it will be much easier to store extra fat if you consume sugars later in the day. Stick with a lean protein and non-starchy carbs. A great meal would be a grilled chicken breast salad with romaine lettuce, sliced cucumbers and a little balsamic vinaigrette dressing. You could also opt for a nice chicken breast/veggie stir fry. Throw some broccoli, mushrooms and chicken into a stir fry pan with a touch of soy sauce. This makes a great meal for later in the day!

The key is to realise there is no such thing as a short term solutions. To loose weight you must decide to live a healthy lifestyle. My suggestion is to educate yourself on food, what's good and what's bad. You'll be amazed at some of the healthy decisions you'll be making once you know a couple of the basic ideas on how our bodies react to food.
If you can throw in some exercise too great, but the two most important things are education then ongoing diet.

Make sure you're eating enough calories and not sending your body into starvation mode. Track what you're eating and how much you're exercising on a site like fitday.com. You're young and you need more calories than an adult because you're still growing.
