You are a healthy weight, but I understand why you want to lose weight in your stomach. First of all - you're only fourteen so understand that some of this weight is 'puppy fat' for lack of a better term and it will go away as you mature. Secondly, if you want to lose fat and gain muscle tone in your stomach area, the best way is to do crunches, and avoid sugary snacks, soft drinks and caffeine, which make you retain water and bloat. Try eating mixed nuts and things as a snack, almonds are a 'good fat' and fill you up. Also if you eat when you are bored try sugarless chewing gum, this could be something to keep your mouth occupied.
Hope I have helped!
EDIT
*** In response to your comment, it's great to drink lots of water, in fact the more water you drink the less water your body will retain, so don't worry about water bloating you. However I would lay off the gatorade as it does have unnecessary sugar and calories, so unless you're drinking it as a supplementary meal, I wouldn't use it to quench your thirst. Just stick to mineral water.***
