Since he was with Liam, and since they both escaped the curse's boundary somehow (although it still does not makes any sense when almost all the reals in FTL and other worlds were shown to not have aged), I still feel like as if he never aged. Let me break it down :

1) Nemo mentioned to Hook that he spend decades hunting and killing those who destroyed his family. He mentions decade(S) specificly, so more than 20 years of hunting and killing, but for the sake of estimation, let's go with the minimum = 20 years.

2) Nemo could have been atleast 10 years old when he started the hunting and killing (an approprite age to start that) but it was never confirmed that he lost his family at that age. It could have started years after., but for estimation sake, minumum = Age 10.

3) At the time he found young Liam, it was Before the First Curse as only when the Curse was cast, than Nemo took Liam to some place outside the curse's boundary. At that time, he already concluded his hunting and killing as : A) The people would be frozen in time after the curse was cast and B) Liam mentioned that Nemo told him about his killings (butched them all), meaning Liam was never with him during his 20 years of hunting and killing.

So a breakdown of Nemo's age would be : Age 10 (estimation of Nemo losing his family) + 20 years (minumum time of him hunting and killing) + an unspecific amount of time until he finds Liam (The estimation of the unspecific time will NOT be added as it could even be days instead of years) + 28 years of the curse (as he too aged along with Liam) = 57/58 years (minimum age) at the time he kidnaps Hook.

The actor who portrays Nemo is 52 years old but his looks are much younger than a normal 52 years old. And most of the timing are at minimum. His age could be 12, 13, 15 or heck even 18 or 20. And the amount of time he goes for the hunt and kill is decades, and minimum was 20, but it could be 21, 25 or even 29 years and took him. Plus the time between his final kill and him finding Liam. Why does it feels that Liam agd yet Captain Nemo did not? Any thoughts? I could be wrong anywhere in the timeline that I mentioned. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or if you guys have any other additions/theories. The easiest explanation is saying Nemo is somewhere between 50 and 60 years old. Looks don't really matter, because depending on genetics, how you treat your body (stress, sleep, substance abuse), cosmetics, etc. you can look a varity of ages at the same biological age. As for the "decades" remark, we can either say he was overexagerating (which people often do when talking) or we can say take it very literally which the minimum amount of time is 11 years (a decade is 10 years, so 11 years would cover more than one decade). So look at the math now: Let's say Nemo is 60. 60 minus 28 is 32. Let's say this is when he takes Liam in, and this is right after he finished his vengance quest. 32 minus 11 is 21. See, it all fits now.
