It seems like you may be having issues with your body image. What I mean is that you don't see yourself as you really are. This is totally normal when you are growing because your body is changing all the time, especially if you picked up a sport and you're gaining muscle. As your body changes, you can get a distorted idea of what you really look like and you may see yourself differently than how everyone else sees you.
The problem here is that you're trying to lose weight. Why? You know that you haven't gained weight. You hear people telling you that you look great. What is it that is making you want to lose weight? You know that what you're doing isn't logical. You know that something is wrong with the way that you're thinking.
It's a really good thing that you're noticing this before it becomes a problem. You don't want to end up having major issues in the near future dealing with an eating disorder. It's nasty business. You should seriously talk with someone about this before it gets out of hand and becomes something that you can't control and that takes over your life because it will and you don't want that. Talk to a counselor at school or a doctor. Right now, you're okay. Lets keep it that way. :)

See a doctor about it and have them tell you were your weight needs to be. The kind of behavior you have gotten into with weight could be a pre-cursor to an eating problem especially if you are below normal weight and they and others see that.
Your boyfriend is likely a nice guy but he's not going to tell you the truth about how you look. Your parents would never lie. If they are concerned look into it with a doctor and have them deal with the issue if there is one.
