Hello.Gaining muscle mass in the gym with weigh lifting...is different than to win height.Each person has a maximum height.This maximum height is determined by the height of parents, growth hormone levels ....
Probably you have already reached your maximum height and no will grow more.The only effective treatment is to inject growth hormone but not seems that your problem is a delay in growth,simply have achieved your maximum height.The height itself is not so important.The important is to have proper weight / height called body mass index (BMI).
I wish you good health

Hi Azhar,
Thanks for writing your query.
I would like to inform you that height depends upon various factors including genetic and environmental factors. It can be increased up to an age till your growth plates are not closed.
There are many exercises which may be of some help like stretching exercises, yoga, running, etc.
You should eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
Also have enough sleep as Growth Hormone is more active during sleep.
I would suggest that you should not go for food supplements available in the market which promise height increase as the have more side effects.
You should have confidence in yourself, small stature is no drawback in life.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
