There are multiple ways of answering this question:
If going 의해 the theory that every league is a year, including the 주황색, 오렌지 Archipelago(that everyone keeps forgetting) and the Battle Frontier, that would put him at 17 at the end of Unova.
Now, if we were going 의해 actual years in the real world, he would be in his twenties. This in my opinion is the most unlikely. Assuming that Professor Oak is around the average height for a grown adult male in Kanto, even after the decrease in height that would usually come with aging he still has a decent height advantage on Ash, implying he most likely hasn't even hit full puberty. That doesn't mean it couldn't be a heredity issue causing him to remain short-considering we don't know the height of his currently non-existing father- but since his mother is his only known parental figure and she is fairly tall, we can assume he will end up tall as well.
Now, if we go 의해 the earlier mentioned theory that leagues happen every four months, he would be a little over twelve. This would be a likely age based on how he acts and talks-including the minor high increase and voice change that could be implying he is hitting puberty-, but we have no confirmation on the length of the leagues.
Another option to look at would be going based on episodes. If we take every episode as a 일 and multiply a third of it 의해 two to cover episodes that had 더 많이 than one 일 in them, we would come up with 2.9 years worth of time having passed, which would make him about to turn 13. Also possible, but not the most likely since a majority of animes do not count the passing of time on their episode count -or even 일 count in the episodes- but 당신 never know.
There is also a theory that legendaries (most say Dialga but I would say Ho-oh since it was the first legendary they came in contact with, and they haven't seemed to age much since) stopped them from aging. This is highly unlikely, both because the legendaries would have no reason to do so and there is no recorded case of it happening in the show, and for the fact that Ash would have acknowledged that fact at some point-no matter how oblivious he is.
Now-in my opinion- it is time for the most plausible option.
In many animes the creators will put in 더 많이 episodes than possible in the span of a 년 yet no time passes. This is usually either because for the plot to work out correctly the character must stay in the same grade 또는 location which wouldn't happen if time passed(Detective Conan being a good example) 또는 in cases like Pokemon where they focus the story around a child as the main, but don't wish to change the main so they just don't age said main.
So in conclusion, chances are, Ash is still ten because of the creators.
