Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
If both your parents' height is around 163cm, then the midparental height, a measure used to estimate your final height is about 170cm. Your current height falls on the 32nd percentile for your age and gender which is pretty normal. You may still have a few cm to gain; if this is worrying you and you'd like a definitive answer, you need to have a bone age assessment (a simple X ray of the left hand + wrist) to see how advanced your bone maturation process is and thus deduce if you actually will gain those few cm. Any additional investigation will be based on the physician's judgment. (btw if you do decide to consult a physician, it's an endocrinologist you should see).
