Our height is something that unfortunately we have no control over. Since you're 16 years old, (if you are a guy) you still have years left of height growth left. You can't influence how tall you will be, but you can optimize your health so that you can continue to grow the way your body intends.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables! They're packed with nutrients that assist in bone growth. Also, eat meat but in moderation and lift weights. Doing so will add bone density-- men can get osteoporosis as well.
What you can do right now is take good care of yourself and allow your body to continue growing the way it should. I know you think that 1.69 m (or a little over 5 feet) doesn't seem that tall, but height growth continues until age 20 for many men. Don't worry!

height is determined mainly by genes.
a diet rich in calcium and proteins helps u grow taller.
get plenty of sunlight. vitamin D is processed by the help of sunlight. get 10 - 15 minutes on a hot day. 20 - 25 minutes on a normal day. don't overexpose urself because the damage excessive sunlight can do to ur skin.
get plenty of sleep. at least 8 hours a day.
sleep regulates ur growth hormones.
oh yeah and exercise. do some walking, aerobics, jogging.

There is nothing that you can do, It's call nature and if you are meant to be tall you will, they say you don't stop gowning until you reach the age of 18, so you have two year to grow taller.

you can still grow till your mid 20's. all you can do is make sure your body gets all the nutrients and vitamins it needs - make healthy food choices.
and be active - play basketball or some other sport or just run around with friends.
