How To Stop Growing In Height?

Ok. so i'm a 13 almost 14 year old boy and 1'm about 5 feet 3 inches. I really am perfectly happy with my height now and do not want to grow any taller at all. P.S i started puberty at around 8 or 9 years old, I skip breakfast almost every day, and i sleep at the very end of my bed and have my knees bent as much as they will go.
