Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
hypothyroidism leads to stunted growth
lethergy is also a symptom of hypothyroidism
she has got another 2-3 years left to grow in height
if you maintain her in euthyroid state by regular medication as advised by your doctor, she may gain some height
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
