Here you are talking about how you worry about your age being a problem; I think this is all very impressive man. Don't worry for even a sec. If you waste time worrying things might actually delay even further. You were not swatting flies all these years, you have a great degree and now you are ready to take up CA. Abroad, people take up ICAEW, ACCA, CPA degrees etc very late, like you, after working for some years etc. Treat it like a PHD/Medical degree and you'll be fine. And yes no issues with employability, if you're a CA, you're a CA, end of. Forget all this age discrimination nonsense, this kind of attitutude is what sets India back.
