Am I screwed? What to do...

[asfvck]

I'm 28
Had this problem for a few years but it seems to have got a bit worse recently
I do take medication for an underactive thryoid

What type of balding is this? What can I do about it? Is this a shave job?

Ideally I want to grow hair to shoulder length (haven't had a hair cut in about 3.5 months). In fact I think it's looking worse because I haven't had a cut in a while.

Some photos were fairly short after I showered, washed and conditioned hair.

Thanks for the help
