Also I weight 55 kg which I wish to increase. I m strictly vegetarian. Will consuming supplements help? If yes, which ones?

Hi
Genetics play an important role in the height of an individual.
As your parents are taller than you but your height is not up to that standard which you want.
Since your age is already 23 years old and the fusion of bones has taken place , so there is not a single chance to increase HEIGHT with ordinary supplements ( so please avoid false ads claiming such things).
Only bone grafting is the way to increase height but as a doctor I am totally against this .
Hope this information will be helpful for you.
Further, if any question I will reply.
