Not good to obsess..: It's not good to obsess about something one can do nothing about. At age 19, girls are finished growing in height (except for a few rare cases). However, one can get a healthy amount of calcium, vitamin d, and exercise... To maintain the current height. Girls also can wear heels (not too high or risk bad ankle injuries).

Too late: At this age it is highly unlikely that additional growth will occur. I could imagine that there are companies that want to sell something for growth but that would be a scam and waste of money.
