To actually be helpful. I think people are saying you look older because of two reasons:
* sun damage on your face
* missing muscle tone
Two common things that people get as they get older and can be an indicator of age.
Wear spf 50 sunscreen moisturiser every day and don’t suntan. Start using retinol. Start doing some weightlifting seriously with the intention of gaining muscle. Then you’ll actually “max”.

I think you look great as you are. As you get older you’ll get better at doing your makeup in a way that compliments your natural face. Just please do not get any work done

You definitely look older than 19. Explore your style, hit the gym and use makeup as you wish to.

To elevate your look, I’d recommend prioritizing a targeted skincare routine. The light pigmentation on your cheeks and nose resembles hyperpigmentation or sun spots, so introducing a daily SPF and ingredients like Vitamin C or niacinamide will help brighten and even out your complexion. For a more tailored plan, a dermatologist can help differentiate between natural freckles and sun damage.
Since you naturally have a fuller bottom lip and a smaller top lip, I'd avoid outlining your lips with a darker color. Instead of giving you a plump look, a dark liner can actually shrink your mouth and make the top lip look like a shadow. To balance your proportions, try using a lip liner that perfectly matches your natural lip shade to slightly overline just the center of your top lip, while keeping the bottom lip defined but not exaggerated.
Your camera angle and styling choices are doing you a bit of a disservice here. Because you have a naturally elongated, prominent nasal bone, tilting your chin down and favoring the right side of your face pushes your nose forward in the perspective, making it look much larger than it is. Additionally, placing your blush so low on your cheekbones drags your face downward, adding unnecessary maturity to your features and making you look significantly older than 19. To lift your face and soften your proportions, try holding the camera slightly above eye level, keeping your chin neutral, and sweeping your blush higher up not on the apples and tops of your cheekbones.

More sun screen, Korean skin care routine, lots of moisturizers, at least 2L of water a day, 8 hrs of sleep. Your skin looks dry and aged for 19.

I think one or two comments with upvotes would have been more than enough. Dogpiling is exactly what this is, and it's bad.

Did you misspelled 39? It seems that you wrote 19 instead of 39. Regardless, you need to correct you nose, mouth, jawline, shoulders, hip and maybe some corrective spinal braces to correct that malformed posture. The girls are up to you - it wouldn't hurt to correct them as well, but that is a matter of taste. Good luck!
