Am i finished growing?

I am 14F, 5,7 and 112lb. I used to be 99lb but i lost my period for 2 months. I gained some much needed weight and it has since returned. I hit a very early growth spurt when i was 10 during the pandemic and also began my period that same year. I grew to about 5,5. I grew slowly after that and stopped when i was 13. I have grown nothing since. My dad is 6,5 and my mum is 5,11. All of my family is tall especially on my maternal side, as i don’t have many relatives on my paternal side. Most cousins are over 6,0. Both grandmothers are shorter than me, but my grandfathers are 6,4 and 6,1. My older brother is 6,1 (16) and my younger sister (12) is catching up to my height. My mum had concerns about my breast size and very irregular period about a year ago. I have definitely gone past tanning stage 3 for breasts if that helps, but i don’t know if i have gone any further. Small breasts run in the family and i do not have high testosterone levels unlike my mother as a teen who ended up with very stunted growth. Is there any way to see if i have stopped growing? I want to grow taller than i am now but my height isn’t changing and my mum seems convinced i will not be any taller. I was predicted a heigh of 6,0 when i was born apparently, but thats a way to go, and i don’t know if females grow any more past the age of 14.
