Hi,

Height is determined mainly by genetics. Your height will depend on the height of your parents.
Some exercises like swimming, basket ball, cycling which stretch your back can help you gain a couple of inches.
It is not yet proved that weight lifting can help you gain height.

but does it mean that weight lifting would stop the gain of height??

Hi,

No there is no scientific evidence to prove that lifting weights can stop height gain.
