I am about around 5'3 and I'm 13 and I'm about 107lbs. I am kinda worried about my weight increasing because I used to be really fat when I was younger and I don't want to be like that ever again but now I'm average skinny. I skateboard for an hour or more a day and I go to the gym almost everyday , and I play basketball for an hour a day. But I am noticing a wieght increase and fat starting to build on my stomach and thyes. When this started happening I started doing 100 situps every night. This isn't seeming to help very much. I need tips or stratagies on how to helpmy eating habbits or w/e you can do to help me loose 5 or 7 lbs

It is a fact that muscle weighs much more than fat does and with how active you are, I doubt that you are gaining fat, but building muscle. You shouldn't worry at all. [ lovelyrics's advice column | Ask lovelyrics A Question ]

You need to make sure you aren't creating a bad personal image of yourself, this can lead to many more problems. Anorexia, bullemia, excessive working out.
I would consider speaking to a professional about what you think of your personal image.
If you feel you need to lose more weight, speak to your parents/ gaurdians, and when they know that this issue is important to you, they can help you not to take it to far, and keep you healthy.
Consider eating foods with quite a bit of protein and fiber.
The fiber is great for your digestive system, and the protein will help give your muscles some gas for when you work them out.
