This how you are suppose to use “岁”我十三岁. If you use 十三多了 you are saying more than 13。

Actually, we cannot say "我十三多了。"
In this case, 多 is a numeral that can be used after 十, 百, 千, 万 to indicate a number bigger than the given one, but smaller than the next round number.
Therefor you can not use 多 after 十三. But you can say, 十多岁, 三百多人, 三千多米, 五万多块钱, etc.

"岁" is the measure word for age. In some situations, it can be omitted:
E.g. 爷爷已经八十多了，还能坚持每天跑步。
