so i'm like 16.2 yrs and my bone age is 16.5 i'm 5'3" mom is 4'11" dad is 5'4". i'll do anything to be taller, my doc says my growth plates are almost closed. he won't prescribe me HGH+AIs. i'm currently cutting cuz i'm fat (22%) my maintenance is around 1800-2000 and i eat like 1400-1600 (still can't seem to lose weight tho.)

i'm attaching my bloodwork too.

Also your maintenance shouldnt be that low if you exercise gym helps a bit for natural test gh and bonemass iirc

Where are you from?
 
Don’t waste energy on what you can’t change. Focus on what you can control and move forward

i used bia and navy method and they both show around 22-23%

and if my growth plates are almost closed, cutting shouldn't be a problem right? especially w me being 20+%

Indian and 5’3 and fat is crazy you can still get taller if you cut and lose weight tho

i'm ready to stop cutting if there's so way to grow taller. because even if eat at maintenance, my doc said i'll grow 1-2 cm at max.

also im 22% bf so a roughly 500 cal deficit shouldn't be a problem

my bmr is 1400. i'm 63 kg , 22% bf and 161 cm? what do you say my maintenance is?
 
i'm already cutting but how is that gonna make me grow taller?
because being at a high bodyfat percent speeds up the rate of ur growthplates closing due to estrogen. Its basically over for you tbh, 5'3 is embarassing. I hope ur not living in a western country otherwise ud have to rope

my estrogen is 31 pg/ml i'm assuming that's not too high?

and yeah i live in india so i'm still short but not that short like the girls around me are about my height.
 
is there really nothing i can do?
Actually, you could try yoga and regular stretching exercises. These won't lengthen your bones, but they can open up your spine and improve your posture, potentially adding 1-2 cm to your height

Depends on activity level also stop guessing bf percentage there is basically no accurate method to measure it under 300$ iirc btw at 61 kg i d suggest to maintain for a bit dont need to cut unless you really think its gonna affect your looks (a picture might help)
