He had just turned 50 years old the day before. He was born September 22nd 1368 SR and left the Shire with the Ring on September 23rd 1418 SR. (SR as in Shire Reckoning.) A 50 years old hobbit would be like about 30 years old human in looks and mental aging. However, possessing The One Ring had stopped Frodo's physical aging and so he still looked like a 33 years old hobbit (as in around 20 years old human - in both cases like someone just out of his tweens) in which age he was when Bilbo left the Ring for him. The Quest lasted for less than a year and after it Fodo remained in Middle-Earth for some 3 years, so when he left the Shire to the Gray Havens, he was around 54 years old but still looked very young though the Ring existed no more. The age just hadn't caught up with him yet.
