Brief Answer:
It's hereditary.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
See, you know this , still I am mentioning that height of a person depends on height of parents.
So, there are actually no safe ways to increase the height.
I don't advise any Medicines for this purpose , as they are first of all not safe and secondary there is no surity of increase in height.
I am sure, you will also not take any risks by using such medications.
At this age , we advise to eat good diet fully loaded with protein. You can even give him Calcium supl for a month or so.
Ask him to do regular exercise that includes running, skipping.
A good diet helps most in the body growth including the height.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Medicines are not indicated in her case to loose weight.
