Your predicted final height based on the parents would be 5'9" +/-. If you have not grown taller in a couple years, your growth centers are most likely closed and no more height is expected. A single x-ray of your wrist/hand could be examined for growth centers. If closed, you are done, if open, more growth is possible & the x-ray could suggest a medical growth problem.
