Height can't be increased only with vitamin D. The levels below 30nmol/L is low. The height of a person mainly depends upon their genetics.
Height may increase some more up to the age of 22.
But Vit. D deficiency may cause serious bony deformities, joint pain and back ache.
It's better to take Vit. D ( 60K units) per week in the form of granules or syrup or tablets

Vitamin D is usually not a reason for small height in the absence of features of rickets/osteomalacia.
The most common reason for small height is constitutional or familial.
There is still hope to gain some height if growth plates aren't fused.
Vitamin D supplements should be started with 2000 IU daily, at the earliest.
Next Steps
Consult a General Physician / Endocrinologist.
Health Tips
Avoid unproven methods of increasing height from social media, as it could delay the actual management.
