No fruits or vegetables? No grains? Are you using milk in the protein shake or just water? Where is your fiber coming from? Your sodium? You can probably get by without any grains, but the fruits and vegetables, or even just vegetables is a must. They provide things you just can't get from vitamins. And if you're not using milk you need to start. 3 servings should give you a good amount of calcium. Multivitamins usually don't have anywhere close to 100% of your RDA of calcium and they hardly provide you with everything. It would be best to use some other sources of protein as well.
How long have you been doing this? It doesn't seem even remotely sustainable.

You need some fat, too - preferably the unsaturated kind like olive oil, fish, nuts. I try to follow the USDA food pyramid recommendations. I also think 1500 calories is too skimpy for you. Teenagers should not lose weight too fast. It could stunt your growth.

So... calorie wise your diet is I guess.. at 1500 kcal... which is too little for a teenager, you need to grow you know... and growing includes important stuff besides your height... like your frontal lobes and other fascinating and pretty integral parts of your life. Well I guess you could do without them but you'd be branded a psycho pretty fast and probably be locked up for doing something really stupid pretty fast.
nutrition wise that is a horrible diet.
Amino acid wise you're pretty much covered I guess.
Vitamins, minerals and all things trace you are so not getting enough of. Basically you need to eat varied food, and veggies are excellent ways of getting the nutrients without getting loads of calories.
Fiber wise.. I mean sure you can survive without fibers but... it'll eventually fubar your intestines and it'll make your daily trip to the loo pretty awful.
so... on an upnote if you want to loose weight and be healthy and such, you are in for both more and more varied food
I'd say... get something besides chicken breast.. fat fish is a very nice way to get proteins and other good stuff like fatty acids and such. And then.. why on earth would you drink a protein shake with all that protein going down anyways.. you'll end up with a very painful kidney... munch on some veggies and get some carbs in there too..
remember that internet advice is pretty much horrible 99% of the time btw, so take mine with a grain of salt too.
