Take Proper diet and Calcium and Vitamin D supplements
Don’t do too much of Gym or physical activity with heavy weight lifting as it causes the growth plate of your bones to get ossified and thus will not grow after that
Your height might have a genetic component to it - is everyone in your family the same height as yours or how is your parents height as compared to yours because there is a direct correlation between it
You can try Stretching before going to bed and sleep with your legs straight at night and hang for few minutes with support of your hands and leg hanging free to stretch those Golgi tendons and Growth plate bút it’s mostly genetic and hormonal
