In the given history 5'7" is not bad. You have to work on physical activities/ exercises esp yoga stretching aiming at ht increments eg taadaasan. Metabolism (agni) should be well so that nutrients are absorbed and assimilated well. Supply of nutrition be from organic source for betterment. Inclusion of growth herbs will be a boon. At 18 you may hope for some increase in ht. Beware of hormone based medication. Strictly no even if ht doesn't increase.
