You need to talk to a trusted grown-up or a doctor right away to get this checked out.
Going six months without a period once you have already started is not something to wait on, and a tummy that keeps growing month after month means you need an adult to help you see a healthcare professional in person. Even though cycles can be uneven when you are a teenager, three months or more with no period is an official reason to get evaluated, and six months is definitely past that mark.
What you should know
For the first couple of years cycles are often uneven, usually somewhere around 20 to 45 days from the start of one period to the start of the next, and one cycle that's shorter or longer than the last isn't on its own a reason to worry. Stress can make a period late too. Tell a grown-up if your periods keep coming more than 45 days apart, 3 months go by with no period once they've started, or they keep coming less than about 3 weeks apart.
Why you need an adult right now
Because your period has been missing for half a year and you are noticing physical changes in your body like your stomach getting bigger, guessing or waiting will only make you more anxious. A doctor can run simple, confidential tests to find out exactly why your periods stopped and why your tummy is changing.
Please tell a parent, a school nurse, an older family member, or another grown-up you trust today so they can help you book an appointment.
