Maybe,maybe not: A single x-ray of your wrist and hand can be studied for bone maturity. If it is similar to the average 14-15 yo you may be a late bloomer and will continue to grow into your early 20's with no medical help. This and other studies could find if you are hormone deficient, and supplements might be a possibility.Talk to your doc and see. A PCP can start the process.

See endocrinologist: At age 18 years your height iso.k. but your weight is less which may be due to some nutritional problem and needs to look in to it .As looking young for age may be you have delayed puberty .You should see endocrinologist and get your harmonies tested and get treated accordingly
