19M, Am I showing signs of balding and which norwood type am I

Hello, I'm 19M and 6 months ago I first noticed my hairline being "higher than I remember". In early April I went to a dermatologist and she noted that my hair being thin at the front is "normal" and that I don't need to worry or take any medication for now. I then stopped thinking about it, but recently I've been thinking about it again and I'm almost certain that my hairline is worse now than even compared to January. So I'm asking for your opinion.

Below are a few pics I took today, plus a pic from 2021, which isn't really good, but maybe provides a point of comparison. I should note that I have an odd head shape that is small at the front and gets larger as you go back and that I'm also sunburnt (highlights the thinning a bit), but I'm sure it doesn't really matter.

Personally, what I think seals the deal is the absence of new hair growth, especially on my right side and temple. I've just escaped from a very stressful time period and I've been told stress inhibits hair growth, but I'm not sure I'll see any improvements to my hairline any time soon lol.

Might just be a maturing hairline. I don't see the before pictures from 2022? I wouldn't worry about it for now. Keep the pictures you have and compare in a year.

Hello, the last picture with the shorter hair is from 2021. The rest I took yesterday.

Right in the front there is a small spot that could be thinning but not sure...its the spot just above hairline in middle of forehead. Is your hair wet in the photos? Most dermatologist are useless when it comes to hairloss. You should see hair transplant Dr. that can give you an honest opinion.
Where do you live?

I live in Greece and I’m contemplating visiting a specialist next year if things get worse, I just don’t feel like hopping on any sort of medication yet. Also my hair is dry.
