Depends: Ultimately genetic plays the most powerful role in determining your final adult height. Of course good nutrition, lots of sleep, and a nurturing environment as a child can effect total height as well but in your case you are likely on the tail end of growth. If you have reach full maturity and your growth plates have fused you are likely not going to gain much more height.
