Given that you’re 18 and haven’t increased in height for a year, I think you’re a prime candidate for RGS or Retrgrade Growth Syndrome. I would say you have a greater than 0% chance of losing 0-5 cm over the next 3 years. I would expect to see a deficit approaching 5-10cms however.

The only way to know is to have your growth plates X-rayed. But as it is not a medically indicated procedure, you’re likely going to have to pay out of pocket for it.

I grew an inch in my 20’s. You’re done mostly, but you may gain an inch or 25.4 mm more.

My dad grew 4" (around 10 cm) sometime between the ages of 18-21. My cousin grew 6" during the same age range. It can happen.
I stopped growing upwards around 15 years of age, probably, and I’ve been growing horizontally ever since…
My little sister is a head taller than me…my father is a head taller than me…It’s not genetics…I just stopped growing upwards it seems…on both sides of my family people are around 6’ to well over 6’.
i got stuck at 5’7, but wide as fuck, and not just from being fat.
ie. 8-9 inch wrists. size 12 shoes…
I’m sorry to tell you that, while nobody can say for sure whether you have or have not stopped growing, there is every possibility that you have indeed reached your max height.
I stopped growing at 16, I made it to 5’10, and always held out hope for a late growth spurt to take me over the line to 6’. Well at 26 I’m still waiting, and still 5’10.
On the other hand a close friend of mine is 6’8 and still growing at 23. So you never know.
I stopped growing at 17.
My 16 year old son hit 6’ at 15 years old and I was thinking he would reach 6’3 but darn, he hasn’t grown a bit in the 9 months since then. I hope he’s got at least another spurt still to come.
My 10 year old son injured his knee two years ago. It wasn’t healing so we started taking him to doctors to try to figure out what was going on. Eventually they determined he has Juvenile Arthritis and is gluten intolerant. I asked if these conditions could account for why he is so small and that doctor referred us to a growth specialist. The growth specialist told us when he has a patient lagging in growth, the first thing he checks for is Gluten Intolerance. Apparently if a child is gluten intolerant gluten is a big impediment to growth.
After being off gluten for one month we returned to the growth specialist and my son enjoyed a huge spike in his growth rate. We just had his one year check with that doctor and in the course of the 12 months my son’s growth rate was measured at 91 percentile for a child his age. He’s really making up ground. They also did the growth plate x-ray of his hand and determined that his growth plates were one year behind average for a kid his age. I think this means he is likely to continue growing a little longer than average.
This is not really related to growth but, regarding his juvenile arthritis, all his joint pains subsided within about 6 months of stopping gluten. Getting him back to stud status has been more challenging after a year and a half of inactivity.
