You will probably peak at 6'3 at 18.
To grow taller plenty of protein, calcium, vitamin D and zinc all help.
To reach your potential height you need adequate sleep (from 8-10 hours per night), adequate calories and a normal healthy diet.
Plenty of protein from eggs, meat, poultry, sea food and dairy products helps as well as calcium from milk, cheese and other dairy products. You also need plenty of zinc from red meat, oysters, mussels, nuts and seeds and zinc fortified cereals such as Weetbix. Vitamin D3 via the Sun also helps.
Girls usually stop growing at 15 and in most cases any further height growth from 15-21 is insignificant but there are exceptions such as late bloomers.
Guys usually stop growing at 18 and in most cases any further height growth from 18-25 is insignificant but there are exceptions such as late bloomers.
Under eating and under sleeping can, to some extent, stunt your height growth. Exercise does not help your height growth and smoking can actually reduce your potential height by a whole inch.
You can see further tips in a web search for "how to grow taller naturally".

Nobody has any idea if or when you might grow taller.
YOUR GENETICS have already pre-determined what your final height will be - period!
You cannot re-program genetics.
You cannot MAKE yourself grow taller.
You can only learn to have patience - & wait to see what all develops.
You will not finish puberty until at least age 21 - or later.

You grow the biggest part of the time you are going through puberty. It is possible to grow more but no one can predict how much you can grow.

Look to your dad and uncles and grandfathers to see what your height potential is. If your brother is 6 ft you may well be or even taller. Most guys are finished growing from age 15 to 18 so you have at least a year or more to grow.
Arm span is not an indicator of height-- while many guys have an arm span similar to their height some have a shorter or longer span. Your brother may just have wide shoulders or long arms. I'm your height and my arm span since 15 (when I finished growing) is 7 ft.

there arent multiple growth spurts, but you do keep on growing even after your growth spurt. don't worry, you still have a lot of growing!!
