There are a variety of possibilities and without your medical history, it would be impossible to give you a proper prognosis.

1) You may have inherited genetics that give you height.

2) You may have a set of non-genetic biological factors that increase height.

3) You may have an overactive pituitary or similar gland, giving you excess growth hormone.

4) You may have a disease or syndrome of some sort that is contributing to your height.
