Loosing weight will not make you grow taller, and you are already done growing at your age 17.
Height Growth Products : The first approved natural product for height increase is Super-Growth http://www.super-growth.info http://www.super-growth.org with this product it is possible to gain extra height increase even after puberty. Super-Growth is the most powerful way to increase your height naturally and fast. I recommend my patients perform the things above while they on the super-growth formula and they are very pleased with the results.
You will not grow taller as you lose weight. One does not effect the other, except in the case of malnutrition. You most likely developed faster than your friends, and that is why you were taller than them for awhile. You stopped growing and they started. You may add half an inch or so yet, but most likely you are 5’4" forever.
Congrats on the weight lose, it sounds like you are having success. Please make sure you are losing the weight in a healthy way, and that you only lose until you are in a healthy weight range for your height, you should discuss this with your doctor.
As for the height, you are as tall as you are. Learn to love your body for what it is, we’re all different and that’s what makes us all so beautiful!
Most people say that boys (young men) may still grow up till they’re about 21 (as opposed to girls, who usually stop growing up about 2 years after their first menstrual period).
In general boys do grow up till they reach the end of puberty. However, this varies greatly due to each person’s genetics. Only a thorough examination of your body (bones, hormones, etc) would give you an accurate answer.
Many people believe (and hope) that practicing sports (specially swimming) may affect directly on their growth rate, but most studies show that growth is a lot "genetics" and less "environment/habits" (either eating and/or lifestyle). These may have enough effect if they are cared for/practiced from a very young age.
