Suggest Ways To Increase Height

I m 16year old boy and about 5ft 8 and weight just under £80kg, I am heavy duty sportsman in Waterloo, rowing, rugby, swimming and running. I haven t grown for about 3 years and I m really worried now cause I feel short, my dad is about 5ft 9.5 and my mum is 5ft 2. I want to grow taller but is it that my weight is affecting me? I am healthy and eat well.
