Hi Adam,
You're very wise to think about the growth factor, as you may have up till the age of 20-22 to continue growing, and you dietary choices are very important.
Talk it over with your doctor, and you might be able to adapt a special version for younger people, such as high protein, and low(er) carbs than the average diet, yet not as low as some of the strict(er) plans such as Atkins. At your age, you have a higher metabolism that the average adult, and you might lose weight with a diet of 60-100g carbs, especially if all carb choices are low-glycemic and complex carbs.
Have you read any of the books on the subject? Carbohydrate Addicts might be worth checking our as it allows for much more carbs, if taken withing certain time limits (called reward).
Wa'il
