You are probably at the height you will be as an adult.
Nutrition is important, but it will not change your height. Try to be content with the height you have; there are plenty of people much shorter.
There are exercises which can help strenghten back muscles. Put "strenghten back muscle exercise" into any search engine.
If you have indegestion, stay away from spicy food, caffeinated drinks, etc.

Someone 1/2 an inch shorter than me? I feel so tall lol.
I'm just messing with you. The good news is that you can still grow until you're 21. Taking vitamins and eating healthy may help you push out whatever growing you've got left. If you want to help your back muscles, pull ups is a good idea since it strengthens both the back and the arms. Even if you don't end up getting taller, at least you'll be buffer and stronger than you were before. Best of luck.
