Can i still grow taller at age 25?

Very unlikely: Most all humans have reached full adult height by age 25 years. Growth plates close for boys/men between the ages of 16 and 21. This is determined largely by genetics. Your doctor can perform an x-ray to be absolutely certain what the status of your growth plates are. Good wishes:)

Nope: At 25 you have grown to your full potential.
