I am 22 years old and 6'1 tall. i have been this height since i was 17-18. i read in that some cases, men stop growing for a bit between 16-20, then end up growing a bit more after 21-22. does a slow growth rate mean my growth plates have closed?

No, you won't grow anymore at your current age. Take care.
