You do not need to lose weight, and 800 (and even 1200) calories is nowhere near enough to meet your energy requirements. You are still developing, and restricting your intake could have serious consequences on your health further down the line. People are different shapes and sizes, and that's ok. I'm the heaviest I've ever been but also the healthiest and happiest.
If you're struggling at all with negative thoughts about the way you look, or how much you're eating or exercising, please speak to someone, such as a parent or teacher or GP.
This is the right decision to start counting calories. I think you should read more about it here https://betterme.world/articles/3-day-a-week/ . You will be able to choose the appropriate diet and exercises that you can perform at the same time as the list of calories!

yo do more exercise (walking is barely exercise tbh) and eat a bit more and eat well - like protein and fat for breakfast, light lunch with carbs for energy, protein and veg for dinner, and maybe fruit or brown toast for snacks. try more vigorous cardio and some weightlifting to up your metabolism and general feelings of energy
