I think only a physician can give you a good answer. Onset of puberty varies so much that it’s difficult to give a good answer.
What we do know is that we’ll most likely end up somewhere close to our parents’ heights.
Have you completed puberty? When did it start?
I’m happy to hear that you are past your depression.
A doctor can order an X-ray of your wrist to see if your growth plates are still open. A doctor can also tell by a physical examination in what growth stage your genitalia are.
With this information you can get the most accurate prediction.

I started roughly around 12-13 with the typical hair growth in certain places voice cracks and stuff. My genitalia growth is probably abnormal for my height growth comparison. It’s bigger than I feel it should be compared to my height size so that is another concern for why I’m not really growing height wise. I highly doubt I’ve completed puberty but I don’t know how to tell to be honest.
