output: hi I have read through your query in detail please find my observations below if the general adult height in your race is lesser than the world average then it is difficult to expect a normal height also your growth is delayed and therefore it might be slightly difficult for you anyways you can still try natural methods however you will continue to grow until you attain 21 years of age the bones stop growing at this age please continue taking a healthy and nutritious meal of 1800 cal daily and also take vitamin supplements include rich sources of protein like fruits vegetables and boiled eggs to give you required daily vitamins and minerals physical exercises help many people and you can extend your hanging exercises to about two to five minutes you can play basketball and do jumping exercises with skipping rope if you are still not 21 years then you can consult an endocrinologist and get examined and take medical treatment for increasing growth
