, according to Scott Lang, why is Janet Van Dyne, who was trapped in the quantum realm in 1987, when she was 29, about 61 years old when she's brought back in 2018?

I do not believe time was compressed in the quantum realm itself but only in a "time vortex" When Scott went into the quantum realm at the end of "Ant-Man and the Wasp", Janet warned him to not get stuck in a time vortex. She was able to avoid them so she grew old at the regular rate. Scott might have fallen into one and not realized it.
