Background:
Measuring waist to height ratio is gaining popularity in the scientific society as several studies have found that this is a more valid measurement than BMI. Just measuring waist circumference is inherently biased for people taller or shorter than average population.
This calculator uses the criteria for interpretitation suggested by Ashwell.

You're still technically a child at 13, so I wouldn't worry as long as your measurements even out by the time you're 17 or 18. Even then, everyone is built different, so as long as you're eating well and feeling strong, you're probably fine.

Just work, work, work Bill. Eat sensibly, everyone knows what that means, & try to not overeat, just be patient(when you feel like you're still hungry, stop eating, wait about 10 minutes, & you'll be full--I promise, & you get better at it with practice). & exercise steadily, walk briskly, climb stairs, do an elyptical machine, whatever. & again, be patient. I've lost almost 70 lbs, & it took about 2 years, the slower you lose it, the better off you'll be, & MUCH better chance of keeping it off. My waist was at a peak of about 39" 5 years ago, now it's 31", which matches the smallest it's ever been as an adult. I'm 47 years old, 5' 11.5", 200 lbs.
Give up one high calorie food or drink and swap it for a low or zero calorie option. soda out water instead. This creates a slight calorie drop. Eat better, whole grains, fruit and vegetables every meal. Exercise: walk a mile every day at a brisk pace, do the following three exercises: Pushups, sit ups and air squats. instructions are found on youtube. do it slowly
