Hello Practo User, Growth of bones stops by the e age of 18. It mostly hereditary related to genes. At your age it is not possible to add a few inches by any medical means. Increasing height by Limb lengthening surgery is associated with high rate of complications. If I was in your position,I would accept what God has given and move on. Regards.
