You are just 12 years old. Normally a female grows upto 18 years of age. Growth plates calcify around the age following which height seizes to increase. You still have enough years to gain on the height. Vit D3 oral supplementation depends on how low the level is. Consult for better management.

Ur height will be between ur mothers height nd father's height , in few cases it will be more than your father's height but chances are less ,
For increasing height u should take balanced diet and do physical activity like playing basketball or any game daily
