Detailed Answer:
Hixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. The long bones grow up to 21 years age in humans and at 25 years your bones have grown and will not grow in length any longer.
2. Eating balanced diet and doing exercise will keep you fit and strengthen your muscles but your height is unlikely to increase from it. Taking protein and supplement pills will not help your bones to grow in length.
3. There is difficult surgery technique which can be used to increase height in you but it requires a lot of patience and will power. You can read about Ilizarov technique. Here the bones are cut and elongated slowly over months.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
