That is a healthy weight for her age/height especially bearing in mind that she will still be going through puberty. If she is unhappy with her body then getting involved with an exercise that she enjoys eg. swimming could help her tone up a little but there is absolutely nothing wrong with that weight for her.

120 lbs sounds a bit heavy, for that height, especially at that age. But, here's the more important question: Does she look overweight?

It's never too early to start a *low-carbohydrate* diet. Stay away from low-calorie and low-fat diets--they're unhealthy.
