Growth is not just age dependent but genetics do play a role along with nutrition and levels of physical activity . You still have plenty of time to grow full 5 years to be specific or more if you are lucky .
Next Steps
Normally do check the growth plates of the long bones but it is not tested often and not definitely for your query .
