That happened bc genetic recombination fucked you over and you likely didn't have good habits growing up, malnutrition, being calorically restricted, not taking enough sun or doing too much activity likely.

Is it over? Depends, Hispanics are not particularly tall, I believe the average is like 5'7-5'8, even then you're significantly shorter than the average... What can you do? You have two options.

A) Work your ass and save for limb lengthening surgery (5'2" → 5'5" + lifts + MSM/Glucosamine → 5'7.4")
B) Work your ass off, get rich, fraud to 5'5" (lifts + MSM/Glucosamine) and compensate with status, money and personality.

Option A’s worth depends on Op’s face, wouldn’t you agree?

Oh yeah, that's definitely a factor too.

The reasons you listed are most likely why and also I hit a early puberty which was also a factor.
About limb lengthening I have been planning on it for a while and may travel to turkey for surgery on my femur and tibia but I heard mixed opinions about it, do you think turkey is a good option for this surgery or I should try to pick another country?

Limb lengthening in Turkey isn't inherently bad, it all depends on the hospital you go to, of course if you can afford it, the US is always better but that will obviously cost you a little bit more.

I'd go to Turkey only if it's a reputable doctor, they don't charge you less than 80-100k (getting an expensive surgery for an outrageously low price is a red flag). The only issue I see for you is the physical therapy, you either need to PT in Turkey or in your home country. PT is the literal difference between recovering 90-95% of your normal function or never being able to walk normally in your life.

As long as it's a good doctor, you secure your physical therapy, and you don't over lengthen any part of your body (for example, nothing more than 3 inches for your femurs, I forgot how much it was safe for the tibias, but you can do your research). Then you'll likely be back in business in about 2 years assuming no complications.
