Lose some weight?
Start doing what we suggested in this thread:

Do a Google search. There are a lot of things you can do. I find that when my clothes fit properly but don't cling, I look slimmer. Posture helps, too. Pull yourself up tall, don't slump.
Happy searching!5 -
It helps if you know what your body type is (apple, pear, banana, hourglass, etc...). Each body type looks better in different styles. For instance, I'm an apple shape (all stomach, small legs, small hips) and have found that empire waist dresses and flared bottom pants are more flattering, and skinny jeans not so much.
Another thing...and I know it sounds contradictory...but if you're wearing clothing that is too big for you, it actually makes you look bigger. It's better to find clothes that fit you properly if you want to look slimmer.
Of course, losing weight always helps, too, as others have suggested, but I figured this might help in the meantime.
Some Google searches should help get you started! Good luck!2 -
If you believe you look fat in clothes you will need to either lose weight to where you are satisfied with the way you look or to work on your self confidence (or both). I wear whatever I like because it feels silly to think that wearing slimming clothes would make me look 100 lb lighter. Only losing 100 lb would make me look 100 lb lighter, and until then I'm wearing whatever the heck I want. People are usually too self absorbed to care about what flatters my shape and what doesn't.2

No, you don't look fat. That's a self-image thing. If you're not fat you don't look fat to other people.

I found that the best way to stop looking fat was getting fit :-P
Seriously though, I suppose a rule of thumb is wearing darker colours, clothes that fit you properly and are not baggy.0 -
I would try to lose weight if your genuinely obese ( I have no idea if your obese or not)
Otherwise, if your not really overweight I would try to learn how to love yourself.1 -
Wear clothes that fit properly. Clothes that are too big or too tight are not your friend.5

It kind of sounds like recomposition might be what you're looking for instead of more weight loss. You might check into it: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10177803/recomposition-maintaining-weight-while-losing-fat/p1

PO-take this wonderful advice right here.0 -
Based on the answers in your other thread, you need to seek out alternate forms of help. Sparkteens.com, your parents or pediatrician would be good starting points. Your body is still growing so enjoy these years and learn to have fun with clothes and fashion. Try new styles. Learn new things.5

You are too young to be here. Your weight is normal for your height.0

As you've been told you are far too young to be here-1

OP has claimed elsewhere that she wants to be 80-90 lbs like "everybody else".
She claims to be just entering high school, and is not allowed to leave the house except to go to school.
Either a troll, or someone too young to be here, so I will cease to engage.1 -
The way to not look fat in clothes is to not be fat.0

If you aren't really fat it could pretty much be your posture. A poor posture with an over-arched spine could give the illusion of a belly even in the skinniest of people.

We don't correct spelling in MFP. It is not nice and maybe even against the rules.0 -
Everyone, she is only 14.0

Just a heads up to those who are not aware that the OP is a minor child and is not allowed to post here. I wouldn't continue to offer any weight loss advice.0
