I need to grow taller

When'd you start puberty? If it was around 12-13 I'd expect you to be 5'10 max.
For midparental formula, there's a deviation of +- 3 inches in growth. Use that and you should get a rough estimate.
My estimate was like 5’7 but late last year I got an xray and my growth plates in my ankle were still open but looked like they would close in the next year. However, I would say in comparison to my peers I hit puberty later than most and I quite recently (last year or 2) hit my main growth spurt.

Is your dad a late bloomer? You mostly follow his growth pattern. If you're taller than him too, chances are you're almost done. Since you did start puberty a little later
at around thirteen you could potentially grow maybe 2 more inches, but realistically only 0.5-1 based on the xray.

I probably properly started at around 14 and after my research I found that the growth plate is one of the earliest growth plates to close.
