Not really unless you are severely obese- too much stress on spine.
you can grow till your mid 20's if give your body all the nutrients it needs and are active (i grew at least an inch since i was 20)

Typically 18 years of age. When you lose weight you will feel more confident and therefore stand up straighter and you will also be thinner which will give the illusion you are taller. But you don't grow by losing weight. I was 5' 11" and 260 12 years ago and I am still 5' 11" and 185 same weight and height I was in high school. Now 41.

No, you can't grow taller. When men stop growing varies from individual to individual, but usually by the age of 20 or so. Expect to lose a little height when you become a senior citizen, though. Osteoporosis

You may look a little taller if you lost alot of weight to looking slim but your height will be the same. The age for men is 18 to 19.

between 18-21. Losing weight will not make you grow taller. May make you stop growing if you don't get the right nutrients :).

Men generally stop growing around 19, however caffeine and nicotine can slow that down dramatically.
If you loose weight, you won't have to fight gravity so much. I lost 45lbs last year and my posture is much better. I had a friend who grew 1.5 inches in a year from doing Bikram Yoga. This yoga will also burn the pounds off quick.

Yep,,, 19-21 is when you'll stop growing.... Word of advice is that eat a balanced diet... Do more cardiovascular exercises and if you're gonna mess with weights,,, use lighter weights coz heavier weight tends to stunt your growth.
It's true,,, I tell it like it is.

I dont think so but I do know that people that are over weight have a tendency of slouching so they look shorter.
So if you lose weight your posture will improve so you will look taller
