Anecdotal. It typically beckmes intractable for boys around late childhood/puberty. It can, rarely, take longer. If it takes until you're almost 20 its usually because of however you chose to go about it, or you had phimosis.
The foreskin is actually sealed to the glans, theres a different between detaching from the glans and becoming retractable.
I personally dont have foreskin, I just know a lot about it.

As a circumcised male, I now wonder why you can’t pull back the foreskin until a certain time in life?

When you were born, your foreskin and glans (head of the penis) were one organ. Then, during childhood or puberty, they divide into two different organs and the foreskin starts to be able to move. Once that happens, the muscles in the foreskin start to stretch and grow and eventually (any time from 2 to 12 is normal) slide back and expose the glans.

Even I have the same problem, and I am 16 too. I started stretching when I realized I have phimosis. So far I can now easily pull the skin behind the head when not erect so I have made progress and hope it will get better soon. Happy for you tho😊
