Is it possible for a man like me to grow taller even if i'm already 22 years old?

Yes: Some men's growth plates have not completely closed by age 22yo. Not very common though. You'll need an x/ray to know for sure.

Wishful thinking: Unless the family has a tendency toward late growth, most male growth is done by 17-18. Linear growth continues until the growth centers close, (17-18 in most) some will have slower closure of the centers and continue at a slow pace to 20.An x-ray of the wrist and hand can be assessed for growth centers and determine if growh is still possible.If they are closed, you can't.
