Most girls stop growing at 16 or two years after having their period. (i stopped two years after, so did my sister, mother but that could be genetic.)
Yes 15-20 pounds is a lot of work. There are many diets which compliment that type of weight loss, however, those diets are difficult and you will usually gain a little back depending on how you eat afterwords. To put it simply, you will have to alter your eating habbits for a long time.
These are two diets which I always use (one or the other) before I go on vacation haha. I don't need to loose but I just do it so I can eat whatever I want when I'm on vacation. The South Beach Diet or The Atkins. They do work, they re difficult especially The Atkins because it eliminates carbs pretty much, completley. They both have websites if you want to check them out. I lost 15 pounds in about 1.5 for both diets when I was on them. It sounds extrememly unheatlhy but it is not: an average weight loss is 2 pounds a week, 4 weeks in a month, that makes 8 pounds a month and for two months that 16 pounds.
Outdoor activited that really work is running, surfing, power walking, bicycling, kayacking, rock climbing (the fake kind like rock walls. if you have an indoor rock wall place do it, it really works your muscles.) I would also suggest kickboxing, normal tredmille/elipticle workouts, pilates (you can buy a workout DVD for that), bikrahm yoga (if you're a beginner, take a beginner class. bikrahm is in a heated up room almost up to 100 degrees so you sweat a lot which is good.)
