Generally, men can grow in height upto the age of 20-21 years. So you still have a couple of years left to grow taller.

average person grows up to 18 years it is very rare that a late growth spurt after 18 occurs between 19-21 . average height of a person depends on father and mothers height average. as your height is already 154 cms chances of growimg further are less.
Next Steps
please consult an orthopaedic surgeon to look into any systemic conditions causing slow growth rate
