Are you meaning to ask "Can gaining fat bring down your height? The answer is simply no, fat cannot bring down your height. Your height can decrease as you get older. How much height you lose depends on genetics. Your posture doesn't affect your height, but better posture makes you appear taller and poor posture makes you appear shorter.

You always lose height during the day, then regain it in the morning. It's because at night, your spine is at rest and it expands. During the day, gravity takes a toll on it and it compresses it. So on average, you'll actually be between.25- 1" taller in the morning.

Maybe you were just standing extra talk or something rounded up the height before. Or it was read wrong. I double you're shrinking

No, that doesn't do that. Your height changes throughout the day, and your posture probably affects it most.

As you get older you lose height, but you are not old enough for this to be an issue. It might be a difference in what ever it was you got your heights measured with or maybe a slight difference in your posture when it was being taken. And I don't see fat as the problem at all because you look very fit.

You do know you get shorter throughout the day, right? There's a thing called gravity and believe it or not, your bones aren't completely solid

Depends on what time of day you were measured both times. Your spine contracts and expands. If your on your feet all day long at work you can actually shrink at the end of the day.

ILostTheKey · Answer

I think it has to do with posture, as well as the time of day you were measured.

You're naturally taller in the mornings, and shorter at night because as the day goes on the force of gravity compresses your spine.

On the contrary. Actually I lost a few inches once I lost a massive amount of weight like 120-150 pounds. Muscle and fat loss.
