Has my growth slowed or am I in for a growth spurt?

Hello, I am a 14.5 year old male who is around 5'6, my dad is 6 foot and my mum is just a little shorter than me. I would say I started puberty around age 11-12.

During the middle part of 2023, I suffered from an eating disorder which I was hospitalized with, I have been eating well for the past 6-8 months, have begun exercising and weight training and I make sure I get my protein, vitamins, and other minerals/food groups in.

I have not grown a lot in the past year, maybe an inch, and I am worried that my disordered eating has affected my growth. Most classmates that I was the same height or taller than are now taller than me. Do you think that I may be ready to grow any time soon?
