My daughter is 15 yrs old and her height is 4 9 . My height is 5 5 and my wife is 5 . My son is 5 6 tall. I am worried about the height of my daughter because she has stopped growing.

Exercise and nutritional supplements will be helpful to increase the height.
Chances of increase the height is up to the puberty because it also depends up on hormonal development.
It will not increase after fusion of epiphysis of bones.
You can continue nutritional supplement,exercise like pull ups,cycling,swimming.
Get examined by doctor for proper guidance.
