Simply so, why did Gollum not age after losing the ring?
It was very apt that Gollum died with the ring as he probably wouldn't have survived its destruction. The reason Gollum continued to live despite the Ring being absent from his possession for so many years was because after nearly 500 years of having it, the One Ring had transformed him entirely into something else.
Similarly, how long was the ring lost before Gollum found it? Discovery by Sméagol and Déagol Gollum, after being exiled from his home, sought shelter far beneath the Misty Mountains. There he and it remained for nearly five hundred years, until the Ring abandoned him and fell off his finger.

Gollum would likely suffer very similar illnesses to Frodo. He would continue to age normally until he died of old age. Since he was treasonous, he would not have been taken into the West - he would simply have remained in Middle earth, quite possibly in a Gondorian prison, until he died.
