How can I summon the courage to ask a girl out?

Question

I'm 15, going into grade 10 and I really like this girl. Thing is I'm overweight, I wouldn't say obese, because I have quite a bit of muscle but I'm 5'10 and 238lbs(but I look 200). I'm losing weight right now, but anyway, should I try to ask this girl out? I mean I'll probably get shot down, and that means I can't ask her out again, so it has to work. Should I lose weight first? If I stick to 1500 calories a day, I could be 150 by half of second semester(7.5 months). Should I go for it or wait till I actually lose weight(if I do). I REALLY like this girl, help me. Oh and btw most people think I'm gay(idk why, I'm really masculine but I pay close attention to my appearance) so she might see it as an attempt for a "cover-up" but idk. Maybe they're just joking around. Another reason I want to ask her out now is that most girls in high school are taken.

My love, first off- looks don't really matter to "kind-hearted girls". I'm your age and I have had crushes on who I've been told are the ugliest boys in our class because they were sweet and funny. Second, don't ask a girl out because she's single. Try to figure out if you actually like her because she's her (personality, not looks) or because she's available. I've had a guy come onto me before and before he did I wasn't that interested in him (saw him like a brother more than anything) but I seriously contemplated just going with it because he was interested in me. I didn't and I thank God I didn't because he is absolutely revolting. We're 15, not 45. We have plenty of time. (Also, it doesn't matter that people think your gay. It's high school. They think everyone's gay.)
