I think you are missing 'in our lifetime', even though you are quoting 'will double in ~150 years'. Also 'declining every year' doesn't mean it won't start growing again.

I guess it depends when you are born. Peak population is predicted around 2075, and that's within a lot of people's lifetime.

That's a bit obvious and is equivalent to saying "anything could happen".
But unless you have a good reason for a reversal in trend, then there's no reason to think it will.
