Am I balding or is it my normal hairline?

Here's my family history:

Father- Started balding at 42. He had a similar hairline as mine which he retained till 42. He's now 52 and is a NW4V
Uncle(Father side)- 47 years old NW3V
No balding on my mother's side...

Please help me one last time before I leave this forum for some time....

Here are some more photos:

Few days before the shave which was approx 1.25 months back


When I shaved:

Let me also mention that thankfully there is not vertex thinning and that appears in that overhead because of the lighting.

I don't see hair fall and even when I pull on my hair no hair falls out. The hairpull test comes out negative(0 or hair at most comes out) on the temples, the hairline and on the head in general.

Please help me guys... One last time..I know this may be irritating for you but please

I really can't see any balding. Keep making pictures if it worries you a lot, that way you can act fast when you do start balding (IF you're going to, that is).

Are you sure? The very two pics are fine? NW 1?

I don’t see a reason to worry. But you can always take some extra efforts to keep this hairline, as you have family history of same. Why not to start few good hair conditioner shampoo and biotin supplement just to maintain your current hair health? Also keep in mind to act fast at very first sign of baldness and take a proper consultation from dermatologist, remember, the earlier the better.

I think your hairline is normal and there is nothing to worry about. Anyway, if you so anxious about your hair condition, consult a trichologist in this regard.

With all due respect, trichologists in my area are extremely atrocious. You guys know better than most of them, which was why I chose to post my pictures here.
I'm currently taking 2% Keto shampoo every alternate day before which I massage my head with oil. I also take Omega fatty acid supplements and saw palmetto. Is that enough care to keep this hairline?
