Can a 17 years old girl still grow tall?

My height is about 156 cm.

I want to grow 4 or 5 more cm to reach my ideal height.

My Dad is about 170 cm while my Mum is 151 cm.

And does body fat pull down my gravity? I weight 50 kg and my body is average, a pear body shape where most of my fats is stored at my thighs and buttock area.

    Growth of the human body finishes around 20 y/o. As you are a small size girl, I suggest you practice a sport promoting growth as volleyball or bascketball. You still have 3 years to go through ;-)

    you may grow it varies from person to person, but as for the fat part the amount of fat you have would not effect you growth at all.
