But puberty is never the same or in the same order I know that so yea...

I'm 22, going to start my Master's degree and I still get mistaken for being in high-school between grade 9-11, rarely in grade 12. The same applies to me father and uncle, they're in their mid-60s and both have jet black hair with a small amount of whitening/grey hair at the sides, and are mistaken for being in their early to mid 40s. It's not that we're short and frail, most adults on my father's side are at least 6 ft 2, big-boned and well built.
The problem of slowing down or speeding up puberty is that it cannot be forecasted. It can be altered by the use of certain powerful medications as a side-effect.

Doing so would not stop puberty. Testosterone is still produced by the adrenal gland. Additionally, males use estrogen and can convert it to types of testosterone. If you truly wanted to do that, you would have to remove the adrenal glands, perform a castration and, remove the pituitary gland but, even then, it will not completely remove testosterone because the converting enzymes are found throughout the body.
