Hi I'm 5'4 And A Half And I Was Wondering

Hi I'm 5'4 and a half and I was wondering if I will grow 2 to 3 more inches at the age of 17. My mom is 5'0 and my dad is 5'7. However my grandpas on both sides are 6'0 and my uncles on my dads side range from 5'8 to 5'11 while my aunts on my mom side range from the height of 5'0 to 5'2. Will I have another growth spurt soon? And does weight lifting stunt growth?
