Sorry to disappoint you but carrying around extra weight will not stunt your growth. The truth is that your height is predetermined by genetics. It can be stunted by improper diet or some illnesses but that is it. A male will continue to grow until age 21.

With 90% of the guys on here asking how to grow taller, why do you want to hamper your growth? No offense, I am just curious.
