Hi young one,
You have 6 more years to go before you stop growing in height.I suggest you do tadassan[a form of yoga] to help you grow.Eat a well balanced diet and DO NOT DO WEIGHT LIFTING now---this will stunt your growth.Try pullups and cycling---this also helps in linear growth.

Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.Don't loose heart as there are couple of years more for you to gain height.Keep doing regular exercises and take proper nutrition.For consolation you can even consult an endocrinologist,who may investigate you lest you may have some hormonal deficiency.Thanks and good luck.
