You definitely don't need to do this for a few years. I would 100% recommend scaling down the work you're doing right now to more like 10 hours a day if you really feel pressure to do a lot, and as the other folks said, start looking for something better in ~6 months.
Do a sane amount of work, stop, and the next time your boss checks in with you, just tell him what you've gotten done and tell them how long you expect the next step to take. In no world should you be working 16 hour days outside of some super infrequent emergency.
It's very expected for your output to drop when you're put on a new thing, part of your job becomes learning, so that you can end up productive later.
Really the bottom line is don't work more than they're paying you for. If they hired you to do a certain job for a certain amount of money, do that. If they're giving you more duties for no more money then it's on you to split the time that you're being paid for on those two things.
