Normal Growth: It sure sounds like your growth was not stunted. Not in the data you provided. I would be interested to have you include your maternal family body habits. Just because you are a male does not in any way mean you will be just like your father.

Maybe not stunted: Have you ever thought that maybe this is your genetically determined height? Hoohak use and poor nutrition would need to be significant to have any effect on height.
