Halo if u r 24 and still growing don’t delay just go for a detailed consultation with endocrinologist. Growth Harmon’s, Igf factor , pituitary MRI as it may be due to growth even . Do it as early as possible.
Next Steps
Note symptoms like large hands, feets, forehead, tongue , lips etc

As described, I suspect an abnormal secretion of Human Growth Hormone from your thyroid gland and it should be immediately dealt with a consultation from an endocrinologist. Please proceed with the same and get the necessary tests done.
