This question circulates every few months. Everyone pretty much has their own opinion & personal canon.
I read her as 23-25...where I place the rest of the New Mutants & Kitty.
Not only do we have the sliding time scale to contend with, but the whole premise of Limbo.
Age speculations EDITED THANKS TO WIKIPEDIA (which I will now defer to, hahaha)
Rahne - 13
Sunspot / Yana / Kitty - 14
Doug - 15
Dani /Cannonball - 16
Karma - 19
Magma - nobody cares, do they? lol
so with THAT in mind, if we subscribe to the 25ish years old for the eldest... that would make...
Karma - 25
Dani/Cannonball - 22
Doug - 21
Roberto / Yana / Kitty - 20
Rahne - 19
Oh geez. So lets tack on at least 3 years in there and place 'em at ....
Karma - 28
Dani/Cannonball - 25
Doug - 24
Roberto / Yana / Kitty -23
Rahne -22
Oh forget it. Its all just too brain hurty hahaha

Illyana's age to my knowledge has never been given post-Resurrection. Its been left intentionally vague and her searching for her soul stones for years at the start of the NM was to put her in line with the other NMs. Her age is relative to hers but theres no actual evidence to pinpoint to a concrete number
Karma approaching old hag numbers.
"Cable was right!"
Scott and jean, like Peter are never getting over that 28 y/o hurdle.
So scale accordingly.
Now I know that makes no god damn sense, but you gotta deal with the reality that maybe the New Mutants are actually as old as the Young Avengers.
As nonsensical as that is.
I interpret it as Illyana 2.0 choosing to appear to be as old as seems convenient, to have horns, tail, hooves etc when she wants.
Hell Lords are immortal, so from the instant she defeated Belasco and gained Dominion over Limbo, she's been unaging, and just uses cosmetic spells to appear to. (See the Enchantress's failed attempt to age Magik during the Asgard adventure.)
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
We ready to rock when Arakko, Krakoa's long-lost sister island banished into the dark void by Apocalypse and his First Horsemen, turns out to be fuckin' Limbo
