While there's not a ton you can do if it isn't in your genetic cards, the biggest thing you can do is make sure you eat a healthy and balanced diet and exercise. Lots of protein and greens to make sure you have the building blocks to grow. Most people get another little growth spurt between 17 and 21 so you've got a bit more time.

Messi got some growth hormone treatments but odds are that's only because he needed it as an athlete and was pretty far below average height. It doesn't add that much height either

Odds are better to just be cool with the superior lifespan and knee/back health that shorter/average people have

Start to become your own cheerleader. If you don’t believe you can do things other ppl will struggle to as well. This means you must trust yourself and seek validation intrinsically so that you can be the build confidence over time and become even better at cheering yourself on. Being hard on yourself does not work and if it did it would have by now, so instead be nice yourself and tell yourself you are going to get good results by doing your best.

Do you know what else helps lift dirt from the surface being cleaned? A brush, a sponge, an absorbent towel, a vacuum, or even just spraying it with water. Using the created carbon dioxide gas is just a mechanical force to push dirt. I mentioned in a different comment that the only kind of useful case for using the bubbles to clean is in places you can't reach, like your drain. https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/vinegar-baking-soda-cleaning-mixture-myth-36880375

Saying you can use the carbon dioxide bubbles to lift dirt is like saying a student can carry all their books between classes with their hands. Sure, it kind of works, but many alternatives will do the job better.

Height is mainly genetic. What you're doing is fine and just stay healthy.

Not everyone grows at the same age either. I had a friend who really grew tall after high school and that happens. Since you're 15, I wouldn't worry about it that much.
