Maybe: No growth over the past year & a relatively early puberty suggest you are finished growing taller. Your expected final height based on cited parental numbers would be 5'9" & that still may be possible. An x-ray of your wrist/hand could identify open growth plates that suggest more upward growth is possible. If the growth plates are closed you are done.
