At twelve, you shouldn't weigh 165lbs, so you may want to double check that and consider getting some more exercise.

If you're not getting much exercise then no more than 2500 a day (2000 ideally) but be careful that you get a good variety of foods, plenty of fruit, veg and water and that your diet is balanced and healthy.
