Hey man i looked at your pics from when your hair is wet and i don't see really any evidence of thinning. Let me put it this way, my hair looks way worse than yours wet but when dry id modestly say that i have a pretty good full head of hair, so your hair must be at least equal to if not better than mine when dry. If you want to check out my post and pics go to the thread titled "hair loss drugs and advice" a few below yours in this thread. With regards to your T levels, i would focus more on your quality of life rather than what a lab result tells you. Do you have sexual dysfunction? Prone to depression? Low self esteem? Testosterone can dictate all of these things but it isn't clear cut and dry. In other words you can have lower than normal t but have no symptoms at all. If this is the case, maybe propecia is an option. however, if you already have low t related problems at baseline, i would focus on losing weight and normalizing that first, THEN looking more into hair loss drugs.

I agree with baldingbob. I'm not convinced you are balding. You may be one of the lucky few on this forum that can thicken your hair from more sleep, better nutrition, less stress, etc. I'm not an expert, but with low testosterone, how can you be balding at a young age? The pictures and numbers have me doubting you have Male pattern baldness.

I don't know. All i know is my hair wasn't that sparse when I was 13. Two different dermatologist told me I' have male pattern hair loss.

Try to relax, get your nutrition in order, work out a little bit, drop some weight, sleep well and see how that works. Do not crash diet. This makes hair fall out. Even women lose their hair when they starve themselves. If your hair was stress and/or nutrition related you will notice significant thickening in 3 months.
