You can try using tadasana and that would help you in gaining height. But you need to do that atleast for 2-4 months.

Hey!
What's the average height of your family members? Lot is controlled by your genes! Height is certainly one of those. Also you still have a couple of years before you reach your peak growth spurt. I would suggest you should not worry too much about it and lead a normal life.
Next Steps
Maintain a healthy lifestyle and try to be physically active as much as possible!
