Height of individual depends on lot of factors most important nutrition, hormones like thyroid, GH and genetic potential.. Mid parental height needs to be calculated to check where u fall.. U need to get basic investigation like T3T4TSH and Xray for bone age to see the epiphyses, to know potential for remaining growth of at all.. As u are already 16 chances could be limited now
Consult endocrinologist for detailed evaluation..

Each ones hight depends on the the genetics and It can be calculated by the parental height. Many factors influence on the final adult height. So if u height is not near the target then need to evaluate for the cause and if found to to b having hormonal issues then can think of treatment. But if u are in target nothing else will help. Although since u r 16 u may have still growth left.
