You are 12 years old according to your profile. Starving yourself during adolescence could have long term effects on your cognitive development. A lot of cognitive changes happen after 12. It also mentions that you are a trans guy. Starving yourself will reduce the amount of vertical growth in height, while most men want to be tall. Starving yourself also is not a good way to lose weight. It messes up your metabolism and confuses your body into responding like there is a famine. Best of luck, you need to see a professional regarding this. Nobody should have this issue at any age, but you are far far too young. Actually by professional, I really mean more than one. One doctor to help determine why you are supposedly overweight (there can be hormonal factors) and help you lose it properly. There is a drug called ozempic that a lot of overweight people are using, but Im not sure if it is available for children barely old enough to take aspirin. And another professional who is a psychologist who can help address the eating disorder behaviors and body dysmorphia.

As someone who has struggled with weight in the opposite direction(sometimes just forget to eat), I can tell you that it is better to he overweight than underweight for your health and especially your development. Skin and bones is very bad, unhealthy, and also does not look good on a person. You will look and feel sickly. The problems with being overweight typically happen later in life so you have time to wait.
