Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. As you are already 23 the elongation growth will be very slow. After 25 years there is no height growth usually. You can do exercises like ringing , jogging or playing basket ball. You should also take nutritious protein rich foods. Taking eggs,milk/milk products , fish or meat is good also. Avoid weight exercises till 25 years of age. 5.3 is not a small height. You should think in a positive way.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
