Boys grow till later, so you still have years ahead.
Swimming gives you broad framework and would help.
As mentioned earlier, diet is an important factor.
Also mentioned earlier is the genetic factor, which determines a lot of the basic body shape and height.
5.4 for 15 years is good and you would only grow taller.
