We prove sharp asymptotic bounds for solutions to the porous media equation with homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on a bounded Euclidean domain, in dimension $N=1$ and $N=2$. This is achieved by making use of appropriate Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities only. The generality of the discussion allows to prove similar bounds for \\emph{weighted} porous media equations, provided one deals with weights for which suitable Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities hold true. Moreover, we show equivalence between such functional inequalities and the mentioned asymptotic bounds for solutions.
