 Hi dear
You may don't like my answer, but you I have to say that you seem to have a normal body index! Also 1000 callories is not enough to cover the minimum requirements of your body. Your body also needs callories if you do nothing (=no sport, no movement, nothing). You can calculate what how much that would be for your body with the following formula:
minimum requirements in [kcal/24 h] for women is:
655,1 + 9,6 × weight [kg] + 1,8 × body height [cm] - 4,7 × age [years]
(Your weight in kg is 63)
and because you do a lot of exercise, you need more callories. I can understand you want at least keep your weight. So for that, chose healthy food. You don't really need to eat less in amount of food, but less of junk food and sweets. This will help you to keep your body healthy and maintain the weight you would like. But if you don't eat enough, you could get serious health problems!
Exercise will help you to get a nice figure. But try not to carry it to excess. As soon as your main thoughts are all about your weight, you should seriosly ask yourself where does that come from and may seek professional help. I know a few girls which never though they would have an eating problem, but today they have real health trubble. So look after yourself, your physiological as well as your psychological health!

The only other things I can think of are to sign up to a gym somewhere (at school maybe?) and see a dietician to get the food intake exactly right for the kind of lifestyle you've got.
