I had a Yellow Tang for a year before I decided to get rid of him. I got him at 2 inches and 6 months later he was 3.5 and at 11 months he was at 4 inches. So mines grew pretty quick.
Yellow tang growth

Thanks for the replies. I feed it 2-3x a day with mixtures of mostly frozen food.
I tried Nori but this one won't eat it for some reason.
I do have culerpa growing on the tank and it like those. It eats the tender shoots when they come up.
Those bumps on it's tummy appears when it eats a lot of culerpa, but disappear when it's all digested and back to smooth looking tummy.
I read a few comments that the fish don't look healthy, can I ask the it doesn't look healthy?
It's been happy, from what I can tell, and eats a lot and never developed any type of illness in the last 7 years. It's very yellow, no sign of lateral line disease, which I see often in captive tangs.
Anyway, here are a couple more photos of it and the some of it's tank mates.
Never had any aggression with this fish since it's the only tang in the tank and all of her tank mates are very different shape and size, and colors.

Looks nice. If it ain't broke...don't fix it. I've been in situations with anemones where they would be doing ok but I would mess things up by trying to make it "better". I know what a malnourished tang looks like and yours isn't it. Oh, and I've also seen them in the wild. It's hard to match Mother Nature unless we are talking big big tank. And even then it's hit or miss. Best of luck.
