Adding an inch at 23 is very unlikely, 6 inches naturally is impossible unless your body undergo some hormonal imbalance(which does more harm than good). At around 17-18 you reach almost 99% of your height. Any extra increase won't be noticeable. Whoever tells you otherwise, is selling lies or just trying to sell you some marketing scam. Just accept it and focus on getting and staying fit.
Can you gain height after puberty? No.
Can you gain height through exercise? No.
Your bone structure determines your height and after puberty has passed, that is fixed. Get used to being the height you are, accept and embrace it. I'm 5ft 4in and I think its great.
As for exercises to build muscle, do compound barbell movements building up to heavy weight with a linear progression (add 2.5lbs every time you go to the gym), go for 5 sets of 5:
Barbell Squat
Barbell Deadlift
Barbell Bench Press
Barbell Overhead Press
Barbell Row
If you want to add some accessories to your barbell work, consider:
Ab work (ab-wheel, hanging leg raises, planks
Pull/Chin Ups
Dips
Note: To measure progress, invest in a tape measure and properly measure yourself.
