we calculate the mid-parental target height of a male as:
dad + (mom +5") / 2
68" + (60" + 5") / 2
you and your brothers can expect an adult height of about 5'6.5" plus or minus an inch or so. That means you and your brothers can expect to be between 5'5 and 5'7 when you're done growing.
This assumes that there are no health issues involved. At 15, being this far under target, I'd suggest you mention your concern to your doctor. It's very likely that you're within range for your age but talking to doc might ease your thoughts some.
