Tora Ziyal was born in 2353 & came to live on DS9 in 2371, making her 17. She died a year later.
About 19 or 20. I don't think they ever gave a specific age.
Ronald D. Moore has stated that Melanie Smith was "cast deliberately a little older because we didn't feel that the other actresses were "reading" mature enough on screen to plausibly be involved in any way with Garak.

Well she was to have been 17 in the origional script ( according to what i was told at a scifi con, however the crew and others felt she needed a bigger life to draw from. The debate is between 24, and 27.
