I am not aware of any "stunted my growth" test or method of calculation. Poor feeding habits can lead to health consequences for your lifetime but your height is what it is based on the combination of health/nutrition/genetic potential, Maybe you could have been taller/maybe not.

Your growth is not stunted by any measure. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
