Unlikely: Did you use a different scale? And if you used the same scale you may have had some sort of error. Weight loss may effect you ability to grow but I do not think it would shrink your height

Loosing weight: Does not make you shrink. Discuss your weight loss program with your MD and check your BMI. Stay healthy.
