I think the rod and reel are fine. Perhaps the line needs adjustment or heavier lures are needed or both but the rod and reel should be able to give you 60 yards , no problem.
Casting for a world record may require some adult stremgth but casting a jig 60 yards with a 10 foot pole requires practice and timing , not strength.
Sixty yards should be a good goal for you. I can't cast 200 yards nor can anyone I have ever fished with.

I say again , get some help from someone who knows what they are doing. Except for a possible line swap , you can cast that far with your equipment , even at 14 years old. You can do it!
