21 and in need of advice

Hi everyone. I'm 21 (male) and have been worried about hair loss for probably about 5 years now.

I've never had amazing hair, for as long as I can remember it has been very thin/fine and I don't think I've really had a completely straight hair line for years (maybe never). I've included a pic of me when I was about 7-10yrs old for reference. However, for some reason or another no one really mentions my hair that much. Only a few people have actually brought up the fact that they think I'm balding/receding. I've been able to style my hair so that it looks quite normal.

I've pretty much accepted that I'll go bald (without treatment). Father is bald and apparently I have same hair type as he did, but I'm pretty sure he kept most of his until his early 30s, becoming bald at around 40s

Recently I've noticed that the left side of my head seems to have receded quite a lot and is definitely further back than the right.

Can anyone give me advice on any steps to take? And also an estimate on the Norwood Scale.

Appreciate it!
