How does one know what tanner stage of puberty they are in? I know age is not the only factor as ethnicity, genes etc. have to also come into play. So how can I know what tanner stage am I in?

I just found out I'm tanner stage 4.1 at 19, can I still grow taller? my mum is 5'2 and dad is probably around 5'11-ish. I'm 5'9 right now and I think I might have grown an inch since I was 17. I also started puberty around 12, so it's a little weird
