I’m being pressured to lose weight. Are there anything that can just make me look smaller?

I’m 5′ 10.5” and I’m currently 138 pounds. I exercise regularly and I’m on a mainly vegan diet. However, due to anemia, I have to eat at least 3 oz. of red meat a day. I’ve been a beginning model for about 6 months now. I think I look healthy, but my agent wants me to weigh 120. I don’t think i can lose 18 pounds by the deadline I’ve been given, which is in about 6 weeks. I run everyday, I do sit ups and streches, and I’m also in kung fu. These activities are causing my to “buff up” and the muscle is making me look bulky. Also, after doing stomach exercises, my waistline seems to grow by an inch or more. I know that muscle is heavier than fat, and that’s why I don’t think i can lose the weight. Do I need to just stop exercising? Or are there any diet pills that work good and are healthy? It’s mainly my waistline. It’s 27 inches now and she wants it to be 23-25. I don’t know what to do to lose the inches, and the harder I exercise, the *more* weight I gain. Help?

is water bad for you if you drink alot?

I was having dinner with a few family friends, and i was telling them about this fasting ameditation i did for my taekwondo. We have to do this to get a black belt. Anyways, i told them that i drank about 15 bottles of water per day, without having any food inside my stomach for 3 days. 15 bottels turns out to be about 16.9*15=253.5 fl. oz. they told me this is bad, and i didnt really catch the explination. If this is true, why is this bad? I always thought drinking as much of water as possible is good. Everyday i drink only water, occasionaly orange juice and eat alot of fruits/vegetables/healthy/organic stuff. So is drinking alot of water bad with an empty stomach? with a full stomach?
