Hello,
Generally it's the puberty time when growth in the height is seen, your height depends on your parents’ height, usually, it will be somewhat more or less as of your parents’. If you are thinking you have not grown very tall because of the push ups or pull ups exercise and the other things then let me tell you, it's not related to that. Up to a certain age, there is naturally increase in height we can see.
At your age, you can focus on stretching exercises and having food that's full of nutrients to keep you fit and grow strongest. No medicines work on increasing height suddenly. So my advice is do not fall for these traps and stay fit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
