Maybe a nutritionist could help me out with this? Questions about fat loss.?

I'm 15 years old, 4 foot 11, and currently weigh 102. In january I weighed 128. I started out as your average dieter but I have ADHD and at night my meds wear off.. at which time I become very impulsive. I am on Adderall. Anyhow, I would do fine during the day but then I would go on nighttime binges (typical for adderall users) and I came down with bulimia. I still exercised about 2-3 times a week, but it was never on a consistent schedule. Sometimes more, sometimes less per week. I believe that I may have a thyroid problem? Like I said, I weigh 102... but I've noticed more bodyfat accumulating, especially in my thighs/butt area, and my hips/lower abdomen. I really want to lose this body fat and see my abs this summer. (I am pretty muscular underneath it all) I dont understand what's going on. Any suggestions to help me get rid of this body fat and keep my muscle? I mean, I'm not fat, but I've gained a considerable amount of fat. I think I may be what's considered "skinny-fat"? Anyhow. I will be very devoted to a specific dieting/exercise plan that will put me on the road to fitness. I'm willing to lift, run, swim, whatever. I haven't gotten the chance to get real much cardio in for the past 2 or 3 weeks though, and that fact has irritated me. Would that time period be enough for me to gain that much fat? I need tips on how to lose fat and only FAT within two months or less, that'd be awesome.

    If you think you have bulimia, then you probably should worry more about that than about fat, and see a counselor who specializes in eating disorders.

    People (especially women) need a certain amount of fat in order to be healthy.

    People with hypothyroidism do not lose 26 pounds in six months. You do not have hypothyroidism.
