Your IQ will deteriorate unless you continue to learn as you get older. I think 100 is deemed average, so you're smart. As I understand it age is mitigated by the way the score is calculated (intelligence quotient) implying someone who knows exactly the same at a higher age will have a lower IQ.

It depends on what IQ test you did. Was it an on line test? If so, that was not a real IQ test. They are fun to do and they tell us something about ourselves, but they do not give real IQ scores. On line test tend to score higher than real IQ tests.
On a real IQ test, the range from 85 to 115 is considered low average to high average. I expect your level of intelligence is just fine and not something you need to worry about. An IQ score is just that - a score. It is not who you are. Much more important than an IQ score is what you do with it. With that said, a real IQ score of 124 is considered above average.
With real IQ scores psychologists will tell you that the score does not really change much over time. So if your IQ score is 124 now, it will still be around 124 when you are 25. It does not go up with age.
These links will help you understand what IQ scores mean. Take care.

I am 14 and have an IQ of 152. It really depends on the person, but I would say average is actually 105-115. For a 25 year old that's been to college, maybe 130 to 140. I'm not calling myseld a genius, but I am smart. Genius is I think 170+.
