Does it show?

W: Tell me about your family.
M: I have four brothers and three sisters.
W: Wow, that's a big family. So are you the youngest?
M: Does it show?

Q) Is the expression "Does it show?" natural? and it means "Do you see it from my young looking face or something?"
If there's another way of saying, how would you say?
