Maybe: The predicted genetic height of a female is the average of the parent height less 2.5 inches.For you this is 62+64=126 divides by 2= 63+2.5 = 60.5 inches. The hypothyroidism may have delayed your bone maturity giving you a little more time to grow, so you can get your inch or so.An x-ray of your hand could be assessed for bone maturity and see how much longer you have to grow taller.
