Connie and Steven are in similar/very close stages. Lapis may not be that old, as she might be almost as old in Steven in Gem Years Regardless of how old she in gem years, Lapis is still thousands of years older than him. But she might be still in one of her younger state of mind Her youngest state of mind would still be more advanced than Steven currently or even in his teens.

This. Gems are adults from the get-go. Just because some don't act like it or have personality traits that are reminiscent of human minors does not make them any less of an adult. For example: just because Amethyst acts like a teenageer sometimes doesn't mean that she's a teenager. Lapis seems young, but that's only because she's small, has a light voice, and because we've seen her be really playful with Steven (in her mirror.) We associate these things with child-like youth, but Lapis is nowhere ner being an actual child. I'm pretty sure she's older than Amethyst. When her and Steven are side by side it's really easy to tell that one of them is a child and one of them isn't, if it wasn't already.
