Hi exercises, good nutritious food and sound sleep will help you.

Exercises like stretching exercises will help and not body building exercises. Do regular cycling, swimming or skipping. These will help you. Nutrition rich in protein is required along with exercises to help in growing tall. Sound sleep and early morning sleep will help in growing tall because or release of growth hormone.

If your epiphysis of bone has closed then the effect of growing taller will be very minimal. You can try the above said measures for your benefit.
