Brief Answer:
You should grow in weight

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

It is nearly impossible to reduce height. Since you are already 23 yrs you would not grow further in height. The height is determine by the growth of long bones esp in the thigh, shin and vertebra. Once they achieve the height they would not reduce unless there is a degeneration that happens after 30 yrs but the height would not change effectively.

If you feel that you look tall you can grow horizontal to the ground that means build muscle so that you look sturdy and good looking. You can head to a gym to increase the muscle bulk.

Let me know if you have further queries.
