At 16 you have probably stopped growing height wise now and nothing you do will make you grow taller as that's part of your genetic make-up unlike body weight or muscle what can be built up.

You can ask any doctor an they will tell you exactly the same that once puberty has ended you won't grow height wise any more.

That explains it then because your still going through puberty! The growth plates shut down around the age of 16 for boys 18 for girls depending on what age you started puberty, only on very very rare occasions will growth plates remain open longer than those ages.

As I also said and stop trying to be a smart arse on very very rare occasions will growth plates remain open longer!
If you do not belive my reply Google the medical facts about growth plates, you are 16 and 3 months so you will be on your last phase of growth height wise most probably because that stage in puberty is late for you.
