Eating less isn't necessarily the answer. Depending on your regular diet, eating less may just screw up your metabolism more.
What I recommend is that you eat 4-6 small meals each day. Start your day with some fresh fruit, rather than a bowl of cereal. That will boost your energy for the day. If you don't normally eat anything in the morning, now is the time to start. It gets your body's metabolism started for the day.
You are doing a good thing by using the treadmill. It is probably because of that that you gained a pound. When you first start exercising a lot, you will often gain weight before you lose it. This is because you are building muscle. So, don't rely entirely on weight as an indicator of how you are doing. Take some measurements. Measure your upper arm, your bust, your waist (bend to the side, where the fold is is your true waist), the largest area of your stomach, your hips, and your thighs. Do this once a month and you will see progress. I learned this at Curves. I lost 2" each thigh in a month, as well as 1" in my waist and in my hips, but I only lost one pound. Because you are using the treadmill, you will likely see the progress in your legs first. You might want to look into a way to work the other parts of your body. I highly recommend a belly dance dvd. I found one at the library (always try the library first, since you can decide if you like the dvd before you buy it) by veena and neena that I really love. It should be easy to find. It works the whole body while helping you feel more feminine and having fun. Much better than just crunches and jumping jacks. Another thing I loved was martial arts. I would still be going if it didn't cost so much.
The main thing is to find something you enjoy so that you will stick with it. If you have a friend who will help you along the way, that is easier too. You are also likely to grow another couple inches. I grew about 3" between 13 and 16 years old. 130 is in the healthy range for 5'3". It is possible you just have to grow into your weight. In the meantime, you need to eat healthy and get into an exercise routine you will stick with so you can maintain your weight as you grow into it. And ignore the taunts. There must be something very good about you that they envy, otherwise they would just ignore you instead of teasing. So, keep that in mind and take care of yourself.

You know if you use the search funtion you can find tons of questions very similar to yours. Anyway, heres a few diet tips:
1. Eat 4-6 small meals every day evenly spaced every 3-4 hours or so. This is very important for your metabolism. Divide your calories more or less evenly between these meals, though eating a bit more before periods of activity and a bit less before periods of rest.
2. Eat balanced meals and drink lots of water
3. Avoid saturated fats and things that have sugar added (that takes care of most of the "crap" one eats). Note most of the "bad" fats come from animal products (fatty meats, cheeses, etc). Read the labels.
4. Make sure you get enough protein. Base your meals around a good protein source like skinlees chicken/turkey, cottage cheese, tuna etc. A meal could thus be 200g cottage cheese, an apple and a small handful of walnuts, or it might be 150g of skinless chicken breast, a salad made with a good oil and 50g of pasta. Note that the actual size of the portions should be determined by your calorie count.
Heres a calorie calculator. These things are never totally accurate in my opinion, but it will give you a good start.

Aim to eat 500 calories less than you burn every day. So figure out your total, subtract 500 and then divide the remainder by 5 (or however many meals you have that day). You can get a feel for this by trial and error, but doing it mathematically can help at the beginning.
As for exercise, anything is good, however I think a combination of cardio and weights is best. When you do cardios like running, its best done in the morning before breakfast.
You are best off avoiding diet pills. Proper diet and exercise is a better more sustainable option.
Good luck.

Ah ! I know how you feel.
Im 13 and about 5'7 and i weigh about that too.
I dont like the cruel comments and stuff
and you think people would respect that you TRY and loose weight, people are just cruel.
And one day your gonna be better than them and they are gonna regret being mean, but for your other questions
you dont have to be a certain age to buy diet pills, they are sold at drugstores.
They dont work though, well they didnt work for me.
What works for me , is regulating what I eat.
Like some fruits, some proteins and veggies.
Dont just eat things that say FAT FREE [like chips]
those can be loaded with salt and carbohydrates.
Yes, things that say fat free and low fat and stuff like that are better for you for sure.
But dont live off of them, make sure you have variety.
Good luck!
