Several things can help increase cognitive functioning and thus IQ
1. Physical Exercise
2. Learning to play an instrument
3. Visual Art programs
4. Fish Oil
5. Having a mentally challenging job (or maybe hobby)
6. Meditation
7. Learning continuously through reading, taking courses you are interested in, practicing recognizing patterns, etc.
That's an article not a study and it ends with more research is needed. The study from the NIH is conclusive and explains why it hasn't, yet, been proven.
OP, don't worry about it. Assuming the score is valid, you have an average IQ, at a level shared by about 2/3 of the population. Don't fixate on it, as it really isn't that important.
I just recently did a test that shows how high my IQ is. I got back 90-108. And it says that I have a short attention span!!! I need to develop better cognitive skills but don't know how! Especially with paying attention. Im notice it but its not bad ( not mental sickness bad) But I miss little things sometimes. And I'm kind of frustrated about it and want to become better at my weaknesses and overall raise my IQ.
90 to 108 is a VERY broad spectrum. That covers about 5 billion people. If you want to raise your IQ, learn math and learn more math. Studying mathematics will improve your logical reasoning skill. People can do math proofs comfortably have much higher IQ than 108.

4.... 5..... 7
11...19.....35
67...131....?
A = 5
B = 198
C = 235
D = 259
E = 298
F = 311
with intelligence ( IQ) you will be able to figure out the next number to fit where the ? is from A.B.C.D.E or F ...
with Knowledge you will have read the book and know the answer ..

I caught my kid reading a book instead of going to bed.
I said, "What're you doing?"
He said, "Growing my brain."
I said, "Carry on." (it was not a school night)
Read read read read read.
It makes you more informed, gives you a bigger vocabulary, teaches you to focus and pay attention to multiple plot streams, etc. And I think it's addictive in a good way.
Then do logic puzzles. Teach your brain to think in different ways.
