Vin,
Welcome to the world of hairloss communication
My advice initially would be get on Finasteride 1mg ie Propecia but look into either getting on Finpecia or Proscar as EXACTLY the same drug and much much cheaper. ( i personally take 1mg generic finpecia)
Stay on this for minimum of 8-12 months initially and then consider a HT and not before hand. Get your loss under control and also use this time to see potential benefits from the meds as often people respond very well especially in situations like yours. You may well eliminate the need or desire for a HT as may well thicken up significantly.
The key to a successful HT is preventing further loss of native hair. The more hair you can maintain the fewer HT's you will require
Hair loss is progressive - you will definitely loose more hair over time otherwise and chase your tail so to speak.
If a builder intends to build a high strong wall to stand the test of time he must build it on a strong foundation.
Hopefully you see where I am going with this. Do not rush in mate and take your time - you are in a safe place here to obtain info and facts regarding HT's so rest assured, sit back read and RESEARCH!
Lets say you stabilise your loss via meds and do not improve at all ( which i would be very surprised about especially in the mid/crown sections) then i think a 3500 -4000 graft session would enable you to reach your goal.
See "TUBS" as an approx example here 3500+ strip session pre op and 12 months post op :
