Hi...in some kids there is a condition called - Constitutional Delay in Growth and Puberty (CDGP). This is a very well-known and common condition. There might be a family history like one of the parents also being like this in their early childhood. These could be late bloomers - that is they may start gaining height and weight at around 16-18 years. But if these are not there, the other possibility that should be considered is growth hormone deficiency. I suggest you consult an endocrinologist. Regards -
