I've been working on losing weight for the past two weeks...

Hey, I'm a sixteen-year-old kid that's been working on losing some weight for a few weeks now. I weighed in around the 180's (I'm 5'11", so that's getting up there) but I dieted for weeks and have stayed at nearly exactly the same weight.

I'm wondering if I'm gaining muscle mass and burning fat, or I'm not dieting well enough. I've been drinking water instead of Powerade and have been eating salads and Subway meals for lunch and dinner, although on rare occassion I'll drink a soda or eat some candy on the weekends. But my diet has been really cut down, and I've exercised every day since then. It's possible that I'm gaining muscle from working out (I go bowling for four to six hours a week with a fifteen pound ball; I know the owner, so me and my friends usually have our own lanes and we can get hundreds of frames done a week.) I also do push-ups, sit-ups, and curls at night.

If I continue working like this, will there be better results?

Much thanks.
