Is there a chance?

Hello I was wondering if there’s a chance I might still grow a little taller I turn 20 in Oct and I’m 5’6 and a half my dad is 5’9 and my mom is 5’2. I feel the reason I never grew taller is because I never really played sports but was active but no specific sport and covid came and I had to stay In the house my growing years at 16 I hope I grow a little more if u start eating real healthy vegetables and get more exercise

At 20yo, extremely unlikely. Biologically, your bones have usually finished growing and genetics determines your height; lifestyle decides if you reach your full potential. The fact that you didn't play a sport is irrelevant if you were generally active.
