My kitten is huge! How to tell age and predict adult cat size?

Question

We got fassa 4 months ago , he was found in a barn and only weighed 1.9 lbs (mom cat was never found ) we took him to the vet to deworm him and withing the last 4 months he has gained a little over 2 lbs a month , he is under 6 months since he still has his baby teeth and is already the size of a full grown cat ... Is there any way to tell age (besides watching baby teeth like the vet said) or at least determining how big he will be full grown ? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 10.2 lbs

The best way to judge age in a young kitten is through the eruption of permanent teeth. By the time the average kitten reaches 6- 7 months of age, all 30 adult teeth will have erupted. It is difficult to know his exact weight at maturity but if he is 10 pounds and only 6 months old then he is going to be a fairly large cat.
