You'll probably keep growing and filling out for a while yet. You don't turn 18 and magically stop growing. That age is different for everyone. There's a time period after your adolescence where your body will settle into a more stocky, adult-like frame. He might be lifting weights or something, which adds bulk. Also, you might have gotten different genes than he did, making you slimmer in build.
Don't stress too much about it. You're still young, and you should focus more on being healthy and active than what you look like.

No nothing is wrong. Boys can continue to grow up to 25. And since you started a bit later than your brother, you probably will continue to grow a bit longer. Also try not to worry if you have a slimmer body than your brother's. Being brothers does not mean you both will end up with the same body type. We can already tell my eldest (lean) and youngest (thick) will have very different bodies when they are grown. Take care.

Until and beyond 18 the general growth still is possible, but NOT the sexual one then! In fact, during puberty the first to start and end just is the sexual development but at 18 it's already ended. The fact your brother gets different features is normal because you're not two identical twins!

Everyone matures at their on pace. What happen with your father or even your younger brother may not be the case with you. I know that its probably frustrating, but be easy. Everything has its season...yours just hasn't come yet.

Nothing wrong with both of you. He is more athletic type and ,possibly you might turn out to be the Academic type. It is still not too late. . Have good Proteinous diet and do reasonable amount of muscle building execizes.

There is nothing wrong at all. People just mature at different ages.

Everyone's body is different don't freak out because your brother is bigger than you. You just may be a slim built person.
