Because you guys have a similar diet probably and Men grow until they are in their 20's so you will probably get taller.

Get onto HGH while you're young and before your growth plates fuse.

I was about your height and maybe 130 lbs at age 16, I had skinny boy genes. You will definitely still grow/fill-out.

EAT. And keep lifting, be relentless. I really filled out in my early 20's, but I worked very hard at it. Eventually got my weight up to 170-175 with low bf %.

When I finally got my weight up into the 170's I was in the 12-14% bf range, that may seem a little high but with my smaller structure I need a little xtra bf to look filled out. But at 16 or 17 years old I was running on the track team, and my bf was probably 8-10%.

It is possible you are a bit unlucky, for example I am 181cm but my dad is only 174cm, however his dad is 180cm and his brother (my uncle) is like 183cm. Like my dad it is possible you have a throwback gene or something
