Unlikely: It would be unusual for you to have more growth if you experienced puberty 6 years ago. One way of making sure is to X-ray your growth plates. All the best.

Not really: You don't list your height but your anticipated final height based on your parents is 5'11.5 inches.If that is within an inch either way, don't feel cheated. The growth centers in most males close by 16-17.When they hit puberty late, they sometimes don't close until their early 20's. An x-ray of your wrist/hand could show your status, but I doubt if it would show growth potential.
