Visit a pediatrician. Child's height depends on his parents' height. Also we should rule out certain deficiencies like vitamin D, calcium , iron, B12. They directly or indirectly affect growth. Visit a pediatrician and follow up every 6 months for proper growth assessment on IAP growth charts.
Many times the child is just having constitutional delay which he catches up with puberty. For detailed counseling and assessment, physical evaluation is necessary.
