Can I gain few inches height?
My first facial hair started appearing when I was 17-18. My height is only 163cm right now and I'm 20, turning 21 in 2 months. I'm obese and my weight hovers around 85-92kg. Can I still grow few inches by exercises, losing weight or doing anything else?

Hi, after epiphysial fusion, the increase in height is not seen, so the height can not be increased but definitely you should loose your weight slowly, since you are obese, this height is not that bad according to indian population, definitely you will look good when you will loose weight, you will appear little taller.
I can help you with loosing weight.
