Answers:
You have a problem. You should see a professional. I'm editing this to add more since I can see the other answers are totally useless.
I'm from the US so I use lbs, and 5.5 and 99lbs is very skinny. If you are as active as you say you are, you probably have a really nice body.
Your specific problem seems to be body dysmorphia which is a symptom of anorexia and also your need to compare yourself with others.
I really believe you should talk to someone you trust that can help get you help. Anorexia is usually a sign of another deeper problem that needs addressed. Skinny should never be anyone's objective. If you eat healthy foods and are active you will have a strong body - that's what is important.

Well, at age 13, you probably shouldn't be that heavy. You should start dieting anyway. Think salad, no dressing. And no carbs after 4 pm.
Better to start now, rather than when you're in your 20's and even your stepfather doesn't want you anymore.Health Question & Answer
