I won't keep you in the dark, chances to increase height at this age is very less, with your family background you already have a very good height
It will be better to make yourself physically stronger and focus on the physical training part rather than on height increase

In my opinion you are at a good height. At this age you might be able to increase only few inches more.
1.Try doing stretching exercises and suryanamaskar everyday.
2.Avoid heavy weight lifting exercises.
3.Do cycling, swimming and pull up exercises.
4.Eat nutritious food like veggies, protein rich food, nuts, milk and eggs.
Make sure you follow these everyday and you will see the results.
