Early stages of hair loss? 20 Years old Male

[VeryAverageUserName]

Hello,
For some context I’m currently 20 years old. My dad started to experience some hair loss in his late 20s and now at the age of 50ish is a NW6 I’d say. My uncle on my moms side has probably a Norwood 3.5ish at the age of 50. Anyways I know it’s best to catch hair loss early which is why I’ve been paying close attention to my hair. My hairline and crown seem find however hair on the right side of my forehead seems to be significantly less dense then the hair on the left side of my head. As such I’m concerned that this is early thining. I’ve attached a couple photos and would appreciate any feedback. The first photo is of my left side, second photo is of my right side, and the third photo is of my forehead so you’re able to get a better comparison between the sides. (Note left and right refers to another persons pov and not my own) Obviously smart phone cameras are very limited but I can attest that in person the hair on my right side is certainly less dense to the left side. Does this part of the hair usually thin early? I’m new hair so any feedback or advice on how to take better pictures or more informative posts feel free to share. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Probably just maturation.

Doesn't look like hair loss to me. Monitor it every now and then and compare it yearly if you want. I don't see any signs of thinning at the front or hair loss at the temples from these three pictures.

You get guys that don't even know that they're balding when they're a diffuse nw3 and then you get this guy lol.

First I’d like to say thank you for all your responses & feedback. I’m posting this update because recently I’ve noticed more miniaturization along my hairline and I was hoping to get some opinions on it. Particularly my hairline in what I think is the right temple region seems to be experiencing miniaturization. The first photo is my hairline, 2nd & 3rd photos are of the right section of my hairline, 4th photo is a closeup on the left section of my hairline & the 5th photo is an update to my original post and as you can see it has continued to further miniaturize on the sides. I understand that I still have a lot of my hair. However given my family history of hairloss I’m just concerned about some of the changes I’m seeing in my hairline. Any feedback is appreciated.

Right temple seems thinner than before but it could be due to lighting conditions, seasonal hair loss or a different camera. I would continue monitoring it and nothing else

Went to my dermatologist today, he confirmed there was hair miniaturization. At this point I will be taking finasteride and minoxidil. I’ll update this thread in the future if anything eventful happens.
