Brief Answer:
Do some tests to get evaluated.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I don't think this can be a genetic condition or syndrome causing you to look very young without other symptoms.
I think you should get further evaluated to find the reason why you are looking very young or childish.
I think you may need to check testosterone and DHEA levels, growth hormone levels . I think you should also do a total blood count and formula and biochemical blood balance.
Syndromes or genetic condition that can show people look younger are always followed by other symptoms like pain in legs and hands, improper hair growth, short body etc.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
