I'm nervous about my height (delayed bone age of 2 years)

I'm a male, 14,6 years old and 1m50. When I was 13.5 my bone age got tested and the result was 11.98 years. So I have a 2 year bone delay age. But the thing is it wasn't always like this. When I was young My height was normal, 25th percentile. But then for 2 years I stopped growing completely. And now since the bone scan I grew 5 cm. And if you check any growth chart and ingore that I didn't grow for 2 years I am exactly still on the 25th precentile. What does this mean? Why did I stop growing for 2 years? What will hapen to my future height? (btw the prediction was 1m78 but it got lowerd to 176 after I visited the doctor) (sorry for bad english it isn't my first language)

I'm 17. What would be my adult height?

I just turned 17 not even days, im 16.99 years. I'm 174cm at evening to night...My father 167cm, Mom 154cm. On 10th November 2024, I was 171cm at night.

On 15 October 2025, I was 173cm in night, now 174. How much max do you think I may grow?

Additional Note :

I have a very patchy beard ( on chin, ramus, underchin right side to neck , left side on order chin to neck is very thin hair) in which hair isn't rough or thick, a bit mid ( not because of genitics as my father got very dense and thick ).

How tall will I grow

I am 16M, 163 cm, dad 178 cm and mom 168cm, I was malnourished during 2 years 13-15 but I am doing well now. My endocrinologist says I will reach around 178 cm but I don’t really believe it. I don’t really see myself growing another ~15 cm. Bone age is 15 years old and I thing I have grown around 3 cm in the last 2 months. My question for you: how tall will I grow?

how much growth can i possibly see?

i am 16.5 years old, last year i was about 165cm and about 1.5 months ago at the doctors i measured at 166.7cm and then today i measured at 168 cm at the doctors again. so i gained about 1.3cm in 1.5 months which is a decent amount for the time that had past. But the thing is in the past year i have seen very little amounts of growth, so how did i gain that much in only a month? Both appointments at the doctor were at 5pm so my spine was equally decompressed at both times. Also my dad is about 177cm and mom is 162cm. and i grow facial hair like on my mustache and side burns that i have to shave maybe every 2-3 days but no beard or chin hairs yet.
