The human body is what is known as a dynamic equilibrium. That is, the cells of your body are continuing to grow through cell division and the release of stem cells, but they are also dying off at a similar rate, so the effect is more difficult to notice. While the body is progressing from a fetus to an adult, the rate of cellular growth exceeds the rate of cellular death, causing the body to increase in mass and height, which is what many people think of when they talk about growing. So yes, you will reach a maximum height eventually, but no your body will not completely stop growing until it dies.
Hope it helps !!!
