Would you like to be a doctor?

I used to want to be a doctor, but I wasn’t smart enough at that time. I am31-year old now and I have a lot to do on my work and private, so I think it’s too late to try again. Our aim to the future has been changed as we grow up.

Corrections

I used to want to be a doctor, but I wasn’t smart enough at (that time / the time).

"the time" reads a little more natural here I think, but "that time" is fine too.

I am (31- years old / 31) now and I have a lot to do on my work and private life, so I think it’s too late to try again.

You can say "years old" like the 歳 in 31歳 but in English it's often omitted entirely.

Option 1: "Our aim tos for the future chas beennge as we grow up."¶

Option 2: "My goals for the future
changed as weI groew up."

Option 1 is making a statement about how things change for people in general.

Option 2 is making a statement about your life.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
I'm still not sure which particle to choose, like "on" or "at."
I guess it comes down to the number of words and getting used to the pronunciation.
Next time I'll try writing the sentences while pronouncing them.

I think it's still possible to change careers, as long as you have money.

Maybe you, or the adults in your life, didn't think you were smart enough?
Are you stating a fact or a perception?

I am 31- years old now, and I have a lot to do onfor my work and in my private life, so I think it’s too late to try agat this point.

"again" means that you tried before. You could repeat "now," but to avoid using it twice in this sentence, "at this point" (which is a little less formal than "at this time") works well.

Our aim togoals for the future has been changed as we grow up.

This is a general statement, so it should be written in the present tense.

Pronouncing the sentences while writing them is a good idea. Often we can hear if something sounds right or wrong.
You can also try typing your sentence into Google search and asking if it is correct.
Someone mentioned she uses Grammerly. Here is an example: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/parts-of-speech/prep-in-on-at/
