You may have two or three more years of growing left, but it's not likely that your height will increase significantly. There are very few things you can do to increase your height, as it is mostly determined by your genetics. At your age, growth hormone would have little effect, and could potentially be detrimental. However, that have been some reports of people achieiving an overall taller height by taking certain combinations of vitamins.
This is by no means guaranteed and certainly isn't supported by research, but you can try taking vitamins made for children and teenagers daily. Also, daily stretching and exercise will both improve your posture, which will make you appear taller, and help your muscles achieve their maximum length.
Certainly, do not expect miracles, and keep in mind that you may, in fact, be done growing altogether! Everyone is different, so it's difficult to say for sure, but the chances of you adding on any significant height are slim to nill. You may add an inch or two at most.
Good luck!

The age you stop growing at depends on the age you entered puberty at. I'm 21 and still growing and seeing as girls stop growing first and I'm female, you still have some time. You could try to get shots of growth hormone from your doctor, make sure you eat enough, stretch out your muscles often, take growth supplements... And if that doesn't work, you can get that surgery where the doctor breaks your legs and then attaches an iron thingy to keep the bone from fusing together immediately so that the body has to build more bone in its' place. It's supposed to take like 6 months to heal from though and I've heard it's hella painful.

You've probably stopped developing, but stretching your arms as high as they can go for a couple seconds every day can increase your height by about an inch.

You might have one more growth spurt, it's possible, it sometimes happens. Also, if you slouch a lot, then you're not being as tall as you really are. Stand up straight if you are slouching.
Other than that, I don't know of any other ways to increase your height short of wearing platform shoes.
