I’m 14 and haven’t grown more than 3 cm in almost 4 years...

There’s a couple things I need to tell you for you to understand the full context of my situation. My father is 183 cm tall and my mother is 175 tall. I however am 173 cm tall and I was considered pretty tall when I was 11 as I was around 170 cm tall back then, but I have only grown a bit over 173. By a bit, I mean not enough to be 174 but a little taller than 173. I also have an extremely slow metabolism considering my weight as my BMR is around 1800 calories and my weight is over 90 kg. Another thing to take into consideration is that I am not obese, my fat percentage is pretty average actually at around 15% percent. What concerns me is that my height has basically not developed at all in almost 4 years however everything else is apparently developing at the same speed it should. I already have facial hair and I feel like my muscles are already comparable to those of an adult. I can legpress 225 kg (although that is my limit), I am the fastest person in my school as well as the strongest. 2 years ago when I joined my school I was around 10 cm taller than the person who was second tallest at the time, now I am almost 10 cm shorter than the second tallest person currently in my class. Everyone has grown a lot but in 2 years I haven’t grown at all, in fact I reached the height I am right now when I was turning 13, 2 years ago. I know that I’m not short for my age but I feel like there’s some hormone imbalance that is impeding me from achieving my full adult height. I wanted to ask you guys what you think is going on and if you think it’s normal before I went to an endocrinologist to have an examination...
