Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the query. You are already 25 years old. Please understand that height of a person increases only till the growing ends of long bones (femur, tibia, fibula and upper arm and fore arm bone) grow. These growing ends stop growing by 18 to 19 years. After that there is no bone growth. Hence, height stops to grow after that age. I hope it is clear. But one can add a good amount of muscle by exercise and proper nutrition. Thanks.
