Aiming for six-pack

Yes it is possible. Everyone on earth has a 6 pack, except most people cover it with a thick layer of fat. It is good that you are starting early with getting a 6 pack. The way to get rid of stomach fat is to simply work harder during your ab work outs. You want to push yourself a little harder each week. Keep in mind that if you are pushing yourself you should not do the work out each day but instead, every other day so your muscles can rest. So create a schedule by doing many different ab work outs and seeing how many you can do, then adding 5 or something. Keep to it, and good luck.
Possible at 13 yes, advisable no!
We home educate our son and part of that has involved learning about puberty and it's effect, stuff I could have done with knowing about 30 years ago.
As a male going through puberty you will hit a period where the hormonal switch will increase muscle mass and burn massive amounts of energy resulting in fat loss. This will happen regardless of activity leve, though of course if you are shaped like a whale it would be barely noticable.
If you don't have the energy available for any reason you will delay your development, and if that never appears can potentially stunt it permanently. The latter is in fairness generally only going to happen with long term severe eating disorders etc. so think more of the former.
You could be an early developer and have done this already, but if you haven't and try dropping too much fat now you could delay what is already a slow enough process, the chemical and physiological transition to adulthood.
The last thing you will want to hear at your age is be patient but that it the best advice, wait a few years until you are sure this has passed then work on the six pack.

Try eating better and doing a bit more cardio or just trying a bit harder/going for longer runs etc. Stop eating all the rubbish that’s preventing you from getting results. Lifting weights in certainly key to your six pack abs. Again around 30 to 45 minutes of lifting weights no less than 2 times during the week will get you those results
