Hi
It's very difficult to increase your height in 21 years.
But you can try and do some exercise and take high protein diet and diet rich in few minerals .
So I would recommend you to meet an expert for the same. And I would recommend you not to go for any medicine or supplements for height increase that as it may have harm effect in your body.
Meet a Dietician/Nutritionist for personalized diet plan
