Hai,
As your Height quite good and BMI is also normal.
There is no point in taking diet or medicine to increase ur 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.
As if your father and mother are in the same height(approximately). then it is purely genetic.
Thank you
stay healthy
