Endocrinologist: If your growth plates haven't closed yet, there are some treatment options that you could discuss with an endocrinologist.

Maybe: Your predicted final height would be 6'1.5" based on your parents, but most males finish growing between 16-18. If you have an xray of your wrist/hand, it can be studied for growth centers.If present and they appear like a 15 yo you might get a couple inches. If the bone maturity matches your age, you are done and no med/diet/exercise/etc will change that.
