Height: If you've completed puberty you aren't likely to grow taller. Girls complete puberty by ages 15 to 17 & for boys it is by ages 16 to 17. However, if one enters puberty late, they will usually also complete it late. Our height is largely determined by genetics (our parents' height). If you are healthy (no unusual causes for stunted growth/ smaller stature) then there is not a way to become taller

No way: Once girls finish puberty around age 14 their growth plates are fused which is why people don't continue growing into adulthood. There is nothing which can help a 44 year old become taller though you can wear shoes which will make you look taller
