Hi,
Most common cause for delayed puberty is a hormonal imbalance. So better to consult an endocrinologist and get done detailed hormone levels.
You may need supplements if you are deficient in any of the hormone. If hormone analysis is normal then no need to worry much.
You will have normal puberty signs in a few years. Don't worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
