You are gonna need a lot of DISCIPLINE, motivation, and exercise to lose that much weight in that short of time.
Being 18 and 5'10" @ 245, you would have to eat 2300 calories a day to maintain that weight with very little to no exercise (roughly).
You should at least lower that caloric intake to 1800 a day. At the same time, try to minimize fat intake. Limit sugars to natural sugars (like in fruits). Stay away from sodas, juices, and alcohol ( I know you are under age, but just saying). Stick with water only.
You should do cardio every day. You can also add weight training, but keep lower weights. Do 3 sets of each exercise with high reps (12-16).
The eating and limiting your caloric intake is the number one thing.
Another important thing.....You should be eating 5 - 6 meals a day. This will keep your metabolism at a high rate.
Next would be to exercise.
IT WILL TAKE COMPLETE DISCIPLINE AND DEDICATION to reach your goal in that time frame and it still might not be possible.
GOOD LUCK!
By the way, supplements will not do much for you in this case. You should be taking a multi-vitamin everyday anyway.
If you want to try a fat loss pill, go ahead, they might help a tiny. (Xenadrine, Thermal Shock, Lipo 6 Black, Ripped Fuel, Stacker, etc), just follow directions on label.
