General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
You can have a consultation with an endocrinologist for measuring your hormone values to get insight on your height.
Be advised that after 23 you can increase your height to a few cms afer some hormone based therapies and physical activity. The cost is high and it might cause some other side effects as well.
Your body has given you the height that is physiological for it to function. If you are going to play with your physiology then remember that you are trying to confuse your own body as it might not know how much hormone to secrete, how to compensate etc.
Radiological examination might show you the status about growth plate.
