Brief Answer:
You have already attained your final height.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX you will not be happy to hear this from me but still i need to tell you the truth. We grow in height because of lengthening of bones. Once the bones are fused , height does not increase. So you are late for it now. Secondly your query does not tell about the height of your parents, may be you are genetically short, in that case even if you had come earlier, we would not have been in a position to help you.
Regards and sorry again as we are not able to help you.
