Shorter than both parents - hormonal?

Question

Asked for Male, 16 Years

I'm shorter than both of my parents. My younger brother is shorter than me; I also haven't seen a noticeable increase in my height in the past two years – but it wasn't always like this. I'm also relatively chubbier than all of my family. I think it may be hormonal. Requesting medical advice about the same. Also, if it is hormonal who should I see, an endocrinologist? Thanks
