you are 16 years old and you have maximum two years more to increase your height. I would like to point out that though height can be increased by conscious efforts its more of genetical factors which decides your stature. The best way of increasing height is to do exercises that stretch your body "reach-out" exercises like chinups, cycling, swimming etc. Most important is to have nutrition which is rich in portein contents. Please do not fall in trap of medicines, devices etc that claim of increasing your height. Stay happy. Stay healthy. Thanks.
