The guy was born on December 31.

So on December 30 he was 16. (That is what he was saying)
On December 31 he became 17.
Today (present time in the conversation) is Jan 1 and this year he will become 18.
So next year he will become 19.

If it can not be deduced by logic or no logic by you, it doesn't mean that it can not be deduced by logic or no logic by others.
