Corrections

Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean thant a person can’t go to university iat an eolder age and enjoy being a student.

"At an older age" sounds more natural that "in elder age" (at least in American English)

3. Although it’s hard to keep going to the gym regularly, doing so makes your body good-looking andlook good and stay fit.

"Good-looking" is almost always used to describe a person, not a body or body part. "Look good and fit" sounds a little bit unnatural, hence my correction.

5. Studying IELTS can be a very demanding task.

Nonetheless, it helps you to get a better band score.

Again, this is a very small adjustment, but "it helps you get" sounds more natural.

Feedback

Good job!

I don't know what you mean by "band score" so I don't know if that part is correct.

Thank you! In IELTS, the ratings from 1 to 9 are called 'bands'. https://www.idpielts.me/ielts-band-scale/
