16 is definitely too early to be worried about it. I don't mean that disparagingly; that's a natural time for the thought to cross people's minds. But you can rest easy, because you're still growing up, and your opinions and identity are still evolving.

Identities can be fluid over time. Maybe you'll always be ace, maybe you won't; I'm not one of those people who says ace people just haven't learned better yet. But IMO 16 is a little too early to be certain that you're ace, because you haven't even reached full physical maturity; sexuality isn't a concrete part of one's identity yet.
