Misinformed about Leo's age??

I got my leo on August 4th at a reptile convention & told was around 11 or 12 months old which would mean that he is now around 13 or 14 months. But I weighed him for the first time a few nights ago & he is 46 grams. Also, he is in the process of having his 5th shed since I've had him. He seems like such a small fella compared to other male Leo's. I've attached a picture if anyone has any ideas. Also, I would love to know what morph you guys think he might be! Thank so much!

He looks nice and proportional. I would call him a high yellow since he has reduced spotting but too much spotting to be a hypo. If he's shed that much, maybe he's growing. The first gecko I ever got by mail was about 6 months old when I got him and weighed 28 grams. Now he's 14 1/2 and probably weighs 70-80 grams. In his prime he was up to about 116 grams. I have had 3 month old hatchlings I produced that weighed 50 grams and others that weighed 7 grams, so there's no way to know if its age is correct or not. Hopefully the person you got it from knew what he/she was talking about!
