Would losing fat and becoming lean and muscular at 21 years old help me grow 3-4 inches taller in the spine?

[semiuglyneega]

20 years old and 5'9 at 185lbs

I've been obese all my life, however lost a significant amount of weight in the past three years (losing 70lbs, however am still relatively fat but with more pronounced abdominal and muscle definition)

also suffer from severe lower back pain when running or doing physical activity.

I have pains in my pelvis, as well as throughout the rest of of back/upper body

I like to think that if I relieved all that pressure and pain on my body, I could gain a few inches.

I'm also of Southern African descent (full-blooded) and my sports doctor told me that growth plates in males of that descent can and may close around early 20''s

I also like to think that since becoming lean would be such a fundamental, major health change to my body, my body would react in a way that could potentially boost height growth, especially with added lean muscle now supporting my structure instead of fat.

I dream of being 6'1 (literally would not want to be any taller than that in any capacity) but would like to be 5'10.5 at the very least.​

My legs are also 94cm, so I'm disproportionate with my torso​

I appreciate any opinions regarding this, thank you.​

It won’t make you that much taller but it’s still good to do
