Am I stuck with this style? Would it be to much to try change the style now? I'm not saying I want to change it just merely curious as I'm thinking what I will do with the tree long term.
Also is there a way too know how old my tree is?
As always thanks in advance for any help or feed back

If you don't mind could you explain to me how you are able to know the age?

Auk, if it was you, how would you change it?

I wouldn't. You are looking at the finished product - a standard, S-shaped mallsai. You just trim it a bit when the shoots get too long.
It can be changed, sure, using the standard techniques - growth, pruning, wiring, but it would be starting from scratch. I don't have the time for that, I try and find better material.

I don't care for the S shape in a ficus, though. It always struck me as unnatural. Auk, you mentioned that bonsai is reduction - might cutting this thing down to a short trunk be feasible for a reboot?
