In normal circumstances, bone growth ( and hence, height) ceases during the age of 15-18 years. Hence there is no chance you can increase your height at this age.
A 170cm (5' 6") height is a pretty decent height for a person of Asian origin and you should not be worried about it. I can see that at 63kg, you have an average frame which ia also very good. Maintain a decent physical frame to appear good.
On a side note, wear clothes with longitudinal stripes and avoid horizontal ones, which makes you appear taller than you are. You can also opt for thicker soles in your footwear.

Dr Vrijilesh Rai

How Can I Grow Taller At 20 Years Of Age ?
Dear Saba In normal circumstances, bone growth ( and hence, height) ceases during the age of 15-18 years. Hence there is no chance you can increase your height at this age. A 170cm (5 6 ) height is a pretty decent height for a person of Asian origin and you should not be worried about it. I can see that at 63kg, you have an average frame which ia also very good. Maintain a decent physical frame to appear good. On a side note, wear clothes with longitudinal stripes and avoid horizontal ones, which makes you appear taller than you are.
