Dear thanks for the question.

I share your concerns , it happens at this age. If I were your family doctor i would have advised you to wait for few more years (till 18) as final height is attained at this age. However keep taking good food like proteins (egg, meat, pulses, milk products) and fat as well as carbohydrates. Keep doing long bones stimulation exercises like running, weight bearing and stretching.

However remember that your height may not increase as your mother's height is very less.

I hope i have clarified your concerns. Do write me for follow up question. Rate my reply. I wish you all the best for your efforts. Thank you.
