How much taller can I can get after 16?

I'm a 16 year old male 5'11 and around 64-67kg, I haven't grown since last year i don't grow in a single shot but at random peaks.
My dad is 6'0 and mother 5'4 or '5. All of my uncles on my dads side are taller than 5'11 and mothers sides are shorter.
I'm pretty annoyed at my height when at school or social events.
I try to have a balanced diet and get enough exercise but masterbuate nearly everyday if that harms anything.
Is there anything I could do e.g. take nutrient supplements to get taller to at least 6'1-2.
When do males stop growing in height?

You still have a while most males don't stop growing until 20-22. But you might not, who knows, you're more than average height so it's not an awful problem average male height is 5'8"-5'10". It is very genetic based so it is kinda due to chance, although the eating healthily and exercising will help it won't make you grow, instead make your body ready for when it does grow. Good luck though. I'm 17 and growed a tad more from 6ft to closer to 6ft 1 but I still have a few more years where it could happen.
