Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
The sedentary lifestyle throughout puberty and lack of physical activity don't prevent you from reaching the potential genetic height.
The height that is expressed in your genes will be reached despite the food you eat or if you do physical activity. If you had kept a healthy lifestyle and done a physical activity you may have had a beautiful body slimmer and with increased muscle mass but it wouldn't rather effect the height a person can reach.
Hope I have answered the question.
