Hello: I recommend you make an appointment with an endocrinologist, and preferably a pediatric endocrinologist. It would be important to bring information about your parents' growth patterns (if you or anyone else in your family knows them) and their final heights.

Expected male final height is 1/2 the combined parental height plus 2.5 inches. If you are no where near this height you should see a pediatric endocrinologist for an evaluation.
