So if the age of the universe is always based on only what we
can see, wouldn't that mean that the age of the universe will
always be fixed at the current age (of whatever estimate you
want to use)? If the estimate says the age of the universe is
13.7 billion years old now, then the universe will forever be
13.7 billion years old, even if we do the calculation a 100
billion years or a trillion years from now.

No, because the information we base our conclusions on is
imbedded in this Universe with us. The determinations of the
temperature of the CMBR about 1 Gy ago, showed the CMBR was
warmer (about 9 K).
