Physically Lily, Saber Alter and OG Artoria are all the same age (14-16). Artoria has had two artifacts which stop her physical aging - Caliburn and Avalon (Excalibur is just an offensive weapon). Caliburn is the Sword of Selection which isn't meant for use in combat, and true to that, Artoria later broke it after doing something dishonourable. She then got Excalibur and Avalon from the Lady of the Lake after promising to never dishonour herself like that again.

The Lancer versions are all from an alternate timeline where after she got Excalibur and Avalon she didn't use them. Since she didn't carry it around a lot, she didn't get the halted aging from Avalon and is about the same age physically as she is chronologically (in her early to mid twenties I believe).

Lily is Artoria before she broke Caliburn which is to say she is chronologically younger that the other Artorias.
