Zincovit daily is safe.
Calcirol weekly is safe. (6–8 weeks).
Height gain in 3 months is usually 0.5–1 cm, not more.
Combine good nutrition + exercises + sleep for best results.

Height is genetically determined. You will still grow a few centimetres in next 2 years.
Exercises you mentioned will keep you healthy otherwise

First things first: Height is genetically predetermined.
Zincovit and Calcirol won't increase your height.
My suggestion: Instead of Zincovit and Calcirol, Focus on eating Balanced Diet with min 1gm protein/KG body weight, Start Body weight training, Play Outdoor sports atleast for an hour/Day. If it's not possible join a GYM and start weight training.
In this way you can achieve a great physique with with your current height. Eat veggies and Fruits for vitamins and minerals.
No supplement can increase your height, but Diet can change your structure of body. For more information, you can contact me

Physical e excise keeps the body supple and healthy, but does not affect height.
Height of a person is mainly influenced by genetic , hormonal factors.
After 16 years, height rarely grows, maybe just an inch or 2.
Regarding supplements, there is no harm in taking them if there is a suspected deficit
They provide other benefits but not increase in height.
