There's nothing to indicate either way but morphs don't age while they stay morphs. The Animorphs never had to deal with any of their morphs, even the short-lived ones who don't even have a three-year lifespan, changing at all. When the DNA is acquired it's frozen in time and they always return to that morph.
I'm sure that the Ellimist *could* have magically made it so that his morph aged as well but why would he? So it's less weird when Tobias and Rachel make out? That seems a little unnecessary.
And the fact that it's never mentioned that this happens is key, I think. If Tobias always morphs his thirteen-year-old self then there's no need to mention it because that makes sense. He acquired his thirteen-year-old self and so keeps morphing that. If for some reason he started morphing fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen-year-old Tobias then there's no way that wouldn't have gotten a mention because it would have turned the rules of morphing on its head for everyone and they spend time freaking out about far less important things that morphs aging.
