I don't think there's a specific "human years" equivalent (there isn't really for animals either from what I've heard, it's more a turn of phrase than anything), the asari have their own life cycle that doesn't map perfectly to humanity. It seems kind of like the asari mature slower than humanity but still seem like more or less late teenager/early adult humans by the time they're 40ish, then seemingly stay that way for a century or two. Liara has a PhD and has been doing research independently for a long time, so her closest human comparable is basically someone who recently got their PhD and is now doing some teaching work at a mediocre university and grumbling that they can't afford to do the work they actually want to be doing (Liara is doing what she wants, but she feels like asari society doesn't take her seriously because of her age so I went with an example that isn't seen as having a ton of respect). Which would be mid to late 20s. And honestly that feels about right for Liara, it's not like she acts young and immature really, she's just a bit awkward socially at times which fits well enough for someone who basically just threw themselves into their studies full time and hasn't had much experience with anything outside academic work and old ruins where the only people to meet are pirates who want to kidnap you.
