Hello,
I understand your concern. Many young individuals are not satisfied by their body (height, weight, shape etc), although other individuals may envy them for it. The truth is you can't do anything about it without risking your health. The best you can do is to adopt a healthy life style which includes sticking to a healthy diet program and getting enough rest.
A healthy diet will ascertain that you'll take all the nutrients your body needs and rest will make sure you don't waste them! This should not prevent you from exercising if you'd like. Exercise is good for our health.
Also please note that your age is considered advanced regarding getting taller. At that age your bones have likely exhausted their growth potential. It is not common for women to gain height after 19 years.
I hope I've made things somewhat more clear to you!
Kind Regards!
