I'm an 18 year old guy and i'm 164 cm tall. i stopped getting tall 4 years ago. is this something i need to be worried about?

Worry ????: If you stopped growing taller 4 years ago then your growth plates have closed and you will not grow taller. Whether or not you decide to worry is a personal issue. It won't change anything. There is no way to grow taller after your growth plates close, which for men is usually 16-17 yr.
