Hi,
I am really confused with these sentences.

I have been living here since 2015: Which indicates I am still living there and continue to live there. ( I started living there from 2015)

I have lived here since 2015 : Does it means that I am not living there now and will not live there?. Or both have the same meaning. (( OR I started living there from 2015 and just vacated the house).

Please explain the difference between these sentences.
 
The only difference is the aspect. In the first sentence, the progressive aspect expressed by living places an emphasis on the continuous nature of the action.

Both mean you are still living there.
 
"I have lived here since 2015" is theoretically ambiguous. You could be standing outside a house you lived in in 2016/2017/2018 etc but no longer live in. It's unlikely but it's possible.
