Going on a diet is necessarily anorexia, but if your cousin begins to skip meals or make excuses to get out of meals, then you should really talk to her. Tell her what she's doing could seriously hurt her body sooner or later.
If she's just dieting to get into shape & become fit, then it's alright. Just keep an eye on her and make sure she's eating right and exercising good.

she could be saying that just to get attention but if she starts eating less than say something to adult.

Talking about going on a diet and actually doing it are two different things! Hopefully she is just talking to fit in with what everyone else is talking about.
If she actually stops eating entirely, that is anorexia. If she does something like that, you tell her mom quickly and put a stop to it.
She is very lucky to have someone near who cares. Keep an eye on her and do what you need to should it come to that. 13 year old girls sometimes need reassured they aren't fat. Make sure she knows she isn't. :)
