While your body fat is is a good range, you have alot of weight on you already for being 16. Your BMI is 25.4, which puts you in the 90th percentile for your age group, but you aren't obese at 15% body fat you are considered 'at risk' based on averages; your average weight at 16 is suppose to be 133 to 189.
Your BMR suggests that you need 3,195 calories a day to sustain your weight with a moderate level of activity (2,927 if you are not active). I would consider a diet in the 2,800 calories per day range to get you down to 180 with the following guidelines:
The United States Department of Agriculture suggests that approximately 50% of your calories come from carbohydrates, about 30% from fats, and approximately 20% from protein sources. 1 gram of protein has about 4 calories, 1 gram of fat has about 9 calories, and 1 gram of carbohydrate has about 4 calories.
With a moderate level of activity, you need 349.6 grams of carbohydrates, 92.3 grams of fat, and 139.8 grams of protein per day for 2,796.9 calories to maintain your goal weight of 180 pounds.
At your age nutrition is very important, your body is still growing and while you can certainly wokr on a diet plan to suit your needs, just make sure you are hitting all the right bases in the process. You can work on building muscle mass and leaning out while also reducing your weight.
