I'm 16 years old, 162cm tall (5'2) and weight around 73kg (161lb)
I usually have around 1,200 calories daily, and go to gym Monday through to Thursday. Tuesdays I do a Sh'Bam class on top of my normal routine, and a Step Class on Thursdays.
I do a lot of walking and bicycle riding weekly, and have begun to try running but only able to do 1km so far (but 10 minutes nonstop if on treadmill).
How much more exercise should I be aiming to do in order to lose weight? Why haven't I been losing weight?

You need to read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right. Calories have nothing to do with it. You should be eating about 0.4 gram of complete protein per pound of body weight every day, counting only 6 grams per egg, 12 grams per glass of milk, and 24 grams per quarter pound of meat. Cut down on bread products and added sugar. Eat veggies with every meal to keep your bowel movements regular.
Fat is made of carbon and hydrogen. The only way it comes out of the body is if it is turned into carbon dioxide and water and then it comes out through the lungs. So that involves a lot of heavy breathing, and that means jogging or aerobic dancing. Figure on losing one pound per week when you are doing things right.
