Well, not knowing if you’ve already created an image with only 16 colors or what, but you can try Mode/Indexed Color, set for 16 colors, (try Forced: none, Dither: none).

Or Save for Web, GIF, set for 16 colors.

Either way,if you need final file format of .bmp or something that’s not supported as Indexed, then convert back to RGB and Save As.
