See endocrinologist: Consider a referral to an endocrinologist. Your estimated/expected height/growth are influenced by your genetics (if your parents are short, you are likely to be short), and environmental factors (e.g. nutrition). Seeing an endocrinologist is to primarily rule out any hormonal deficiencies that contribute/affect growth such as growth hormone, thyroid hormone, etc.
