Hi guys,

Are these sentences correct "I am double the age of yours" , " I am twice as old as him" , " He is half of my age"?

The first is not natural, The other two are fine. The third would be better as "half my age".

We're not here to fill quotas of replies. If the first responder gives an answer that we agree with, we don't add pointless extra replies. Generally, we just click the Like button on the original reply, as three of us have already done.

I need some more replies.

What for? How many ways of saying the same thing do you need? I'll give you one more: I am twice his age.
