age does factor into it; you're young (you haven't sprouted hair on the outer edges of your ear yet), and if you can get into a healthier lifestyle before at your age, you are DEFINITELY going to live longer (and probably happier) than a fatty like meYou could try advice like https://www.t-nation.com/supplements/thibaudeaus-simple-fat-loss-strategies . I haven't tried it but seems like a good strategy to try to prevent over eating. I'm working on losing a whole lot of weight since I got really out of shape and close to 300 pounds on my 5'6" frame. Thankfully have lost close to 60 pounds so far. So good luck.
