As you are now a United States citizen, the government would have the burden of proof to show that any misrepresentation that you made was material if it wished to take back your U. S. citizenship. For example, if you decided at this time that you wish to change your birth year on all your documents and to set the record straight, there is a chance that DHS may become involved and ask the reason for which you did not disclose the true year of your birth when you were applying for your permanent residence or naturalization. If the true date of birth would have had any influence upon your ability to obtain permanent residence, e.g. immigration under another category was only possible through the change of year, such would be considered a material misrepresentation.
