Maybe he wasn't 41 yet. Assuming he was born in autumn (because the air element corresponds with the autumn season) and the Yakone trial happened before then. Just like in the first series, it took place over the course of three seasons but not a full year. I assume Aang was still twelve when he defeated Ozai in the summer but turned thirteen in the following autumn season. But I also took it as a general age when he said he was 40.
