first of all, depending on your height, 123 could very well be a normal weight. figure out your BMI (body mass index) to see in you are really over-weight.
it is very likely that the stress from the move have caused you to eat more. this is because if you dont know people and you are sad and unmotivated in this new place, it may seem like the only thing to do is eat, or you are just bored so you feel hungry when you arent.
the first step to losing weight is becoming happy and comfortable. try to make friends. making friends takes a very long time, but dont give up. figure out something you love to do and take your time up with that. it could be scrapbooking, soccer, reading, anything.
for nutrition and fitness, try realage.com and just say you are 20 because you need to be a certain age to take the test. sports are the best way to lose weight, but dont worry about weight, worry about staying in shape. if you gain more weight after exercising, that is muscle weight.
i felt like you do at the beginning of the school year when my friends ditched me and i still feel like this now sometimes, but finding things i love to do has helped and i have lost 8 of the pounds i gained. if you have any more questions about anything feel free to ask me. hope i helped<3

The reason you gained weight is because you went through a magical transformation known as puberty. Embrace it.
It's completely natural to gain weight as you grow older. To be honest, it would be completely unnatural if you did not. I would be worried if you were still 63 pounds. You're 13 now, not six, and you should weigh more. Sleeping late is normal too because when you are a teenager your body needs more energy to keep going, therefore, you sleep longer.
You really do not need to lose weight, but if you have your heart set on shedding a few pounds, eat healthy foods and exercise. Trade sweets and candy for fruits and vegetables. Go jogging or do some other cardio three times a week. Really, one should do this regardless of if they wanted to lose weight or not, seeing as this is how to be healthy.
