I had a similar problem and at 30 am only just 162cm. I found out that as a teenager I love chocolate and this caused a lack of zin in my body which is needed for healthy height and growth as a teen. So increase your zinc intake and you will find over time you may grow taller and you will not have quite such a sweet tooth.

There is still a chance that your growth plates are not completley closed yet. Some men still have open growth plates up to age 25, you should take advantage of 'last chance' to grow and make sure your body is producing enought HGH (human growth hormones) to sustain any more potential height gain, check out http://www.hghforheight.com there are many lifestyle factors that you can adopt to optimize your natural HGH production. If unfortunately that your growth plates are completely closed, you can still grow taller with spine lengthening technique which has been shown that it can add up to 2-3 inches to your overall height. Spine lengthening can be done with various stretching exercises, they are well-documented in http://www.giantscientific.com . Exercises like yoga or pilates have been very effective in elongating the spine, http://www.thepilatesguide.com

You may still be growing.
Try yoga stretches. It won't increase your actual height, but it will elongate your muscles and improve your posture. I've been measured a 1/2 inch taller after a year of yoga.

girls usually grow in hight until the age of 18-20 so you have alot more to grow
But still you can try different sports like basketball or swimming
Good luck :)

Sleep on your back on a hard floor. Also, if you go into space you will grow but you will shrink back when you come home (ha ha)
