YEAH , IT IS DUE TO REDUCED SECREATION OF THE PITUTARY GLAND [AKA GROWTH HORMONE] AS YOU GROW OLD. IF ONE OF YOUR PARENTS ARE SHORT THEN IT MAY BE GENETIC. YOU CAN TRY GOING TO THE DOCTOR TO GET YOUR ENDOCRINE HORMONES CHECKED,MY COUSIN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM & THE DOC GAVE HER SOME TABLETS& IT REALLY WORKED.IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY YOU CAN TRY WEARING LEG BRACES[CONSULT DOCTOR].
THE THING ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT YOU CAN TRY GOING TO A DIETICIAN OR EATING HEALTHY FOOD
IN THE MEAN TIME BE HAPPY WITH THE WAY YOU ARE

You won't grow any taller now. Not more than half an inch if you're very lucky. 5'3" isn't too short, though, don't worry. I'd love to be taller, too. If you have trouble putting on much weight, you probably have a high metabolism. You should be grateful for it - many people want the same! Just eat healthily (never overly healthily - have a balanced diet) and enjoy just being you.

I believe its either 21 or 25 that you stop growing. Drink milk helps bones grow. Carbs and junk food.

yup you are right you will stop growing around 22 yr of age.
its 'cos all the bone has epiphyseal plate aka growth plate which increases the length of your bones and increases your height. it becomes calcified and deactivated around the age of 22. The only way to increase your height is by llizarov technique, where you break the bone and increase its length....
best way to increase weight is by eating more protein......

No, you can grow until 30ish...
Eat cheese & Drink milk for healthy bones...
To get taller... tie you arms to one car and your legs to another, have them drive in opposite directions... and BLAM! instantly taller.
