Im not overweight or anything im actually kinda underweight and kinda short for my age. How much exercise should i get? I usually work out every week or so and i do about 120 sittups, 64 push ups, and 12 minutes of cardio evrytime i work out. Is this good for my age or should i do more? I eat healthy and im getting a 6 pack. I also want to do work outs that can increase my growth because i want to get taller. Also are there any foods i can eat to help my growth? The best help ill give 10 points

At least 30 minutes of cardio every day. More is better.
This could be treadmill (boring!), bike riding, running, walking, trampoline.
You don't need to do that many sit-ups for them to be effective, same for push-ups. It is possible to overdo exercise, and if you are only exercising once every week or so, you really aren't getting the best workout.
You should do weight bearing exercise every other day, maybe 3 sets of 15 repetitions each. (do each exercise movement 15 times, pause a minute, then do another, until you have done 3)
Eating a healthy variety of foods is good. There aren't really any foods that you can eat to help your height.
You have not hit your growth spurt yet. Girls start to get taller earlier, and many boys don't start shooting up until they are in High School, about 15 yrs. old.
