hai,
There is no scientifically proven medicine for increasing the height.
Scientifically saying normal human bone stop growing in the age between 18- 23.After that no growth will happen. it will attain skeletal maturity. All ur cartilage part will become bone. so there is will not be any further growth. only metabolic process will occur.
your BMI is within normal.
as your father and mother are in the same height(approximately). then you will also fall in that height.(genetic).
thank you
hope i answered your query.
