JavaScript Object With Function using "this"

I just started learning JavaScript and I would like to make it work . I wrote function that check your age based on the current date and your birthday information. The Function working just fine ( Yes I know that there is probably faster and clearly way to create this Function ) .

var today = new Date();
var currentDay = today.getDate();
var currentMoth = today.getMonth() + 1
var currentYear = today.getFullYear()


function birthdayCheck(birth_day, birth_month, birth_year) {
    if (currentMoth > birth_day || (birth_day <= currentDay && currentMoth >= birth_month)) {
        return (currentYear - birth_year)
    } else {
        return (currentYear - birth_year) - 1
    }
}

I want to use this function inside Object .

let birthday = {
    birthYear: 2010,
    birthDay: 3,
    birthMonth: 8,
    myAge: birthdayCheck(this.birthDay, this.birthMonth, this.birthYear),

}

console.log(birthday.myAge);

if I'm wring number insted of this.birthDay, this.birthMonth, this.birthYear its worknig fine but I don't want to write again the numbers i want to re use what already inside the block , how can I make it work ?

let birthday = {
  birthYear: 2010,
  birthDay: 3,
  birthMonth: 8,
  birthdayCheck: function() {
    var today = new Date();
    var currentDay = today.getDate();
    var currentMoth = today.getMonth() + 1
    var currentYear = today.getFullYear()
    if (currentMoth > this.birthDay || (this.birthDay <= currentDay && currentMoth >= this.birthMonth)) {
      this.myAge = currentYear - this.birthYear;
    } else {
      this.myAge = (currentYear - this.birthYear) - 1;
    }
  }
};

birthday.birthdayCheck();
console.log(birthday.myAge);

var today = new Date();
var currentDay = today.getDate();
var currentMoth = today.getMonth() + 1
var currentYear = today.getFullYear()


function birthdayCheck(birth_day, birth_month, birth_year) {
  if (currentMoth > birth_day || (birth_day <= currentDay && currentMoth >= birth_month)) {
    return (currentYear - birth_year)
  } else {
    return (currentYear - birth_year) - 1
  }
}

let birthday = {
  birthYear: 2010,
  birthDay: 3,
  birthMonth: 8,
}

birthday.myAge = birthdayCheck(birthday.birthDay, birthday.birthMonth, birthday.birthYear);
console.log(birthday.myAge);
birthday.myAge = birthdayCheck.apply(null, Object.values(birthday).reverse());
console.log(birthday.myAge);
