First of all, you do not need to lose weight. Your weight to height ratio is fine just the way it is.
Whether or not you decide to go vegan is a personal choice and is completely up to you...but don't make the mistake of thinking that vegans barely eat. The vegan lifestyle revolves around maintaining a healthful diet...starving yourself is not healthy at all. Vegans eat a variety of foods to make up for the nutrients that they are missing by not eating meat. If you decide to go vegan, do plenty of research or see a dietitian so that you can make sure you are getting all of the proper nutrients. Based on your question, I am assuming that you are young. Depriving your body at any age is bad...but doing it while you're young and still growing is putting yourself at risk of a whole host of problems down the road.

No. I think you should seek help for your eating disorder instead of trying to mask it with an animal rights philosophy.
Barely eating is not good for anybody, including you. And neither vegetarianism nor veganism have anything to do with barely eating.

Yes,you should go vegan for your body,the planet and the animals.
What to eat being vegan?
You need to make sure you eat pulses at least three times a week and fruits and vegetables everyday. Have a fruit for breakfast(apart from something else of course) and a vegetable/pulses for lunch and dinner. Make sure you include all vegetables,pulses,lentils and beans(kidney beans,chickpeas,black eyed peas,green peas and many more)
Don't eat mock meat and soybean as mock meat contains sodium and soybean is bad for health( http://rheumatic.org/soy.htm ).
Mock meat is also soy based so too much soy can be bad for health.
Actually even a little soy is bad for health.
What's wrong with soy?
Soy beans are naturally toxic to humans, but they're harmless when they go through a fermentation process, which is how we get tofu. But soy is being used in more and more things these days.
Just look through your cabinet. You'll be surprised. Anyway, most companies aren't putting their soy beans through this process because it takes too much time, and time = money.
Instead, they put it through a chemical process, but this rarely gets rid of the soy's toxicity completely.
Symptoms of a high soy diet are thyroid problems, breast cancer, and other complications.
People get these symptoms because the soy they eat isn't fermented.
Mock meat can never be part of a staple diet(food what you eat everyday).
You can may be have it once or twice a month.
Its a luxury and not a need.
You need to consume naturally occurring fruits,vegetables(cauliflower,carrot,pot… gourd,spinach,capsicum(aka bell peppers)),pulses(chickpeas,kidney beans,black eyed peas,green gram,black gram,lentils,lablab bean,moth bean,horse gram,cow pea),nuts and grains.
Make something like rice and bread your staple diet. You can have rice with vegetables for lunch and bread(I have Indian bread usually) with pulses for dinner(or you can do it whichever way you like though that's the way I do it). You can have fruits for breakfast besides something else. You will get all vitamins and minerals from fruits,vegetables,pulses and nuts.
Also,don't fall for the myth that says vegans/vegetarians need to take multivitamin supplements.
Vegans/vegetarians don't need to take supplements as they get all their nutrients from fruits,vegetables and pulses.
Supplements are supposed to be taken by people with deficiencies so do not take them unless they have been prescribed to you by a doctor.
