This kind been done very often on this site. Look for other examples of the same and study from them.

Not sure how mean "times older to".
If "times older Than", this is PLUS the 3 times that of sister.
If "times as old as", this is 3 MULTIPLIED by that of sister.
One of these may be neater than the other.
