What's not clear to me is what you mean by 'adjusted for'. fitted(lm.adj) will give predicted values based on the height and weight. I don't really know what the justification for/meaning of the adjustment is, so I don't know whether you want to predict on the basis of the heights, or whether you want to get a 'population-level' prediction, i.e. one with height effects set to zero. Maybe you want residuals(lm.adj) ...?
