Question
If my toy poodle is 3 months old and weight 4 lbs and stands about 6.5 in is there a chance he won't grow anymore in height

Answer
Hello Jeannette,
Poodles can grow until they are around 9-11 months old and will fill out until they are around a year and a half old.  The height standard for a Toy Poodle is 10" at the shoulder, so your dog will probably gain a few more inches at least.  

If your dog grows over the height limit of 10", then you have a Miniature sized Poodle rather than a Toy.  If your Breeder sold you a Toy Poodle and your dog is over 10", you have the right to go back to the breeder and either get a refund or another dog.  

I hope this helps you some.  If you have other questions for me, please feel free to ask.
