with late puberty you still have good growth potential likely reaching 5'9" to 5'11" or more.  Focus on nutrition and sleep. A consultation can assess bone age. Feel free to book one.

At 16 with a late puberty start and already at 5'7", you have a good chance of reaching 5'9" to 5'11" or possibly taller. A simple way to estimate your genetic potential is the mid-parental height formula: (Father's height + Mother's height + 13cm) ÷ 2, which for you gives approximately 5'10" as your genetic target. Late puberty actually works in your favor — it means your growth plates close later, giving you more time to grow. Most boys who start puberty late continue growing into their late teens, sometimes up to 18-19 years.
Next Steps
Ensure adequate nutrition (protein, calcium, Vitamin D), regular physical activity, and good sleep — these are the key factors that support reaching your maximum genetic height potential. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

You can continue to gain height until around 18–20 years of age, although this varies from person to person. So, there's no need to worry at this stage. Focus on maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet rich in protein, calcium, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients, along with regular physical activity and adequate sleep, as these support healthy growth and overall development.
