Answers:
1500 calories is for non active people who are not growing. When you're both of those things, it's a double whammy, so you should be eating 2200-2500.
I'm estimating your BMR is probably around 1400 and then accounting for activity level (moderate in your case) multiply this number by 1.55 and you have a maintenance figure of 2170 so 2200 is right on the money.
Your fine at 120. Thats what I was. Im 15 now and 140.
