Missing data/none: To get any idea whether you are near your expected height you would need to provide the actual height of both parents. At 21 yo you have long since stopped growing taller & no diet/exercise/meds or anything else will change that.

Weight/ height: At 21 your growth plates have sealed- don't anticipate growing any taller. If you are 5 feet 1 inch tall and you weight 39 kg (85 pounds) you only have a BMI of 16.1 which is very low. If you are worried about being "bulky" you may have a distorted view of yourself. Most people would look to increase their BMI.
