When you lose weight, your whole body is targeted. It's pretty difficult and almost impossible to target one area of your body. I've been jogging, walking and eating healthy, and the weight around my torso has slowly gone down gradually along with the rest of my body.
You sound like you're doing plenty of exercise, and as long as you eat around 1800 calories per day (or at least more than 1200) you will lose weight. If you have an iPhone, the MyFitnessPal app is great for helping you count and watch your calorie intake per day. You need to eat this many calories per day to keep up with your exercise regime. If you don't eat enough, your body will burn up all the calories it needs when you exercise and that means your body isn't getting all of those great nutrients it needs. If you eat under 1200 calories, your body will go into starvation mode.
You are in a healthy weight range, so don't try to eat less than what you should be eating. 125 is the absolute ideal weight for your height (which isn't taking into account your body type, muscle...etc) so I would really suggest staying around that mark.
If you keep up the exercise you're doing and eating healthy foods you'll probably lose the weight in a couple of weeks (around 6-8).
I would suggest talking to your parents and also a dietician or someone who knows a lot more about weight loss than I do to help you understand proper eating and exercising.

Ok, to lose your "love handles" there is an exercise that you use a broomstick. Pretty much all you do is have a broomstick or a large stick, put it on your shoulders, put your arms on the broomstick (like a scarecrow). Sit up straight, and turn side to side (Just your torso). I can't remember exactly what the exercise is called, but you can look it up under google as "Broomstick Exercise" and many results will pop up with a better and more detailed explanation.
