You can't do anything- it is all down to genetics and luck of the draw

5'4 smaller than everyone in my family 🤷 doubt you can do anything other than live healthy (which may aid development?) or wear shoes with a heel to look taller

Could you not just wear heels?

i used to be in the same situation
Get the right amount of sleep like a good 8-11 hr sleep
Regular exercise it strengths the muscles and bones
milk because u need calcium

But it's also depends on your genetics or just wear heels because u can't grow tall overnight

Standing, bending forwards and touching your toes without bending your knees, then slowly move back into a straight position and stand on your toes “reaching for the sky” I did thing a few times a day and after roughly 1-2 weeks I was a bit taller

Yeah if you can handle the 4 months of limb lengthening and 5 months of recovery just to gain a few cm, not to mention the risks of new bones being formed from shattered shin bones T_T

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Get better genetics?

There is nothing wrong with being short as a girl. It'd be far worse if you were, say, 6ft.
