If he was really thirteen at the beginning of the series, he would've celebrated his FIFTEENTH birthday in the episode "Steven's Birthday". But only a few months passed between "Mirror Gem" and "Steven's Birthday"? Malachite was formed for months, not over a year. Peridot says it took her months to stop trying to kill Steven, not over a year. They reaffirm time and time again that only a few months passed since "Mirror Gem" up until that time; you have to remember that time passes differently for us than it does for the characters. If you want more proof in a Reddit AMA Rebecca confirmed that, at the time of "Change Your Mind" almost 2 years has passed since "Gem Glow". Not 2 years have passed, but almost, therefore he couldn't be 12 at the start of the series as if he were 14, then 2 years would have had to pass.
