To answer the original question, it should be easy to get from VR14 - 16 doing gold.
I'll put a caveat on this: exp was reduced 10% after the patch for quests. I don't know if exp is slowed for VR14+.
I know ZoS is trying to slow us down to keep people from capping, but I've no idea how they're going about it.
OK that is weird - I did the same, plus world bosses, and I was constantly overleveled. By the time I hit vet rank I was 3 levels above my current zone. That gap only grew throughout Cadwell's Silver and Gold to the point where I was six to seven veteran levels above the final zone. I did do some of the group dungeons, but only occasionally and never did any grinding. I do have ESO plus, but a 10% bonus does not explain the huge gap between your experience and mine.I do all the quests in a zone, plus all the delves, before moving on.
I have always had a hard time keeping up in level - my main is VR8 after finishing Cadwell's Gold. I'm having the same issue on my new character - she's up to level 26 quests but is only level 22 and I do all the quests in a zone, plus all the delves, before moving on. I don't dungeon grind though. I don't know how anyone gets to VR16.

If I had to guess, I would say it is one of three things:
1) You skipped the starter islands on your characters and/or you haven't been doing the prophet, fighter's guild, and mage's guild story arches.
2) You really aren't doing all the quests/content in a zone needed to level up. A lot of players follow the main story for a zone and think that will lead them to all of the quests a zone has. There are quest hubs all over the map and the zone story doesn't take you near all of them. Additionally, there are a ton of side quests that you won't find unless you explore off the beaten path, so to speak. Even if you have the achievement for completing X number of quests in a particular zone that still doesn't mean you have necessarily found all of them, as there are always more quests in a zone than needed for these achievements. And if you don't have this achievement for a zone, you can be sure that you've missed a lot of content there. Completing all of the quests, delves, dolmens, and public dungeons in each zone should really be enough to keep you at least two levels above the content you are doing. You do not need to do the world bosses or dungeons (even once) to remain over-leveled.
3) You are a player who goes out of there way to avoid killing mobs. Killing mobs gives decent XP while questing and if you try to complete the quest objectives while actively avoiding or sneaking past mobs, you can find yourself under-leveled. This isn't to say you have to grind in every quest hub, but you shouldn't be trying to kill as little as possible either.
Having played two characters, there's one thing I did notice and that's leveling up to 50 seemed to go very quickly in terms of my own leveling. I always seemed to be 2-3 levels below the area.I dunno!!
