As a Medical student here in the US I am going to tell you one thing: There is no way to influence how tall you're going to be without some serious side effects to your health.

I'm not going to tell you the one way I know for sure will put height on you as it is illegal and I could potentially get sued. If you figure it out, I am here to tell you that introducing this to your body at your young age might put you at risk for about 150 different health conditions (that's just off the top of my head) that will haunt you for the rest of your life.

There are a lot of "snake-oil" type products out there that will claim to make you taller, but they will not do anything other than take money out of your wallet.

It's been debated within the medical community for years whether exercise and a healthy diet influence height while the epiphysial discs are open, but my opinion has always been it can't hurt.

Eat right and stay active and watch out for fantastic claims or cures. Remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Also do some research into how your body actually grows from Web-MD or some other reliable source. That should give more answers to any questions you may have.

Honey, you are not close to being done growing. Boys and young men sometimes continue to grow into their early 20s, whereas girls are usually through growing by age 18 or 19. You are just fine. Don't worry about it yet.
