I don't think you actually need to lose weight. Don't think about the kilos, think about your body shape.
You probably just want to tone up. With what you're eating and the exercise you're doing, you are pretty healthy. You're also not eating a whole lot either. Perhaps let your mom know that you prefer to eat numerous small meals throughout the day instead of a big meal at night. Try to eat a bigger lunch or eat a larger afternoon snack. That works out better in terms of burning through the calories. Also, try to go for a run every other day and look into doing some different exercises - sit ups, butt crunches, etc.
Like I said, I don't really think it's a weight issue. I'm assuming you're looking at yourself in the mirror and wanting to be "tighter". In which case, you want to tone, not lose weight. Remember, muscle weighs more than fat but a toned body looks better than skin and bones.
