Nothing: If you are basically healthy , then your growth will determined by the potential your dna has. Nothing you do will really matter. There are no exercises or supplements that will make you taller than you are meant to be.

As tall as parents: Hieght is determined by genes you carry, as a rule of thumb, your hieght will be similar to your parents. You may have few more inches to go. Keep eating healthy and exercise regularly.

Growth patterns: The predicted genetic height of a female is the average of the parent height less 2.5 inches.For you this is 67+65=132 divides by 2= 66-2.5=63.5in.Your bone maturity may be delayed giving you a little more time to grow, so you can get an inch or 2.Balanced nutrition, rest and exercise can help you get the most out of your genetic potential.
