Semi-prime age, version 1

My age is a product of (exactly) two prime numbers. Also, the same was true before my last birthday and will be true after my upcoming birthday.

How old am I?

(You can assume that my age is within a reasonable human lifespan, measured in years. This gives more than one possible age. Find all of them.)

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

you are 34 years old :)

34 = 17x2

Before your last birthday you were 33 ( = 11 x 3)

and after your next birthday you will be 35 (= 7 x 5)

Ooops. That was an unintentional shortcut to the solution. :-D

(Of course, the problem should be read as a story told by someone else – but that my age is visible gives a good guess to start on.)
