Hi,
As you are 16 years there are all chances of increasing your height, even more than 5'7 inches.
Main thing is exercise and high nourishing food.
as per your age your weight is more so reduce fat and more carbohydrate in diet.
Go for regular exercises like running, jogging, swimming, cycling, jumping ropes etc.
Theses are the exercises which help increasing height.
Take high protein diet.
No drug or amino acidsare required at this age.
Ok and take care.
