Get bone age study: If your bone age xray shows that your bones are fused, then you're not going to get taller, at least not w/o ilizarov procedure (http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pmc/articles/pmc2266651/). If bones are not fused, then consult pediatric endocrinologist to look for growth hormone deficiency if your height is less than 2%tile (really short, not just a little short). Exercise will not affect height.

You are full-grown: Sorry to give you disappointing news, but it is rare for girls to grow after age 16-18, in fact most girls stop growing around age 14. Bone growth is caused by "growth plates" and once the growth plates close (usually 2-3 years after puberty) the bones are unable to grow. Nothing can change this. You need to accept your current height.
