Hi ,
As you are 18 year old, You are in approximate height .
As ur fathers height is around 5ft and mothers height is around 4ft ..u r likely to be in 5ft as per your genetic structure.
this is Quite Normal as per your age

Tips:
1)Regular Jogging in early morning for 15 to 30 mins
2)Nutritional factors plays key role.. so check for Haemoglobin Status .
3)Healthy food stuffs including Fruits intake
4)Increase your water intake.
I find this answer helpful
