Hey Angie! Best of luck reaching your goal. 125-130 by may should be totally possible, but you're gonna have to work for it! Good for you for deciding to make a change when you're so young.

I hate to be that guy, but what do you intend to gain from the product? They have a sizeable margin of error (10-20% from the sources I've read,) and, for the price, you're probably better off determining your baseline metabolic rate by eating a consistent diet and seeing whether you're gaining weight, losing weight, or…

People are probably right, you've been in too large of a deficit for too long. Eat a bit more protein + healthy fats. Some whole carb sources post workout can help with hormone levels too, helping you drop the weight faster.
