Curious Parts In Hair And I'm Unsure If It's Balding

So, disclaimer: my dad is bald, (can't tell you much about his family because he's adopted) mom has thick curly hair(two brothers that went bald mildly, others who didn't)

Now me:

I'm currently 25 soon to be 26, and trying to get a hold on whether I'm actually slowly balding or just freaking over something that's always been there. I recently had long hair (cut in September) and have been getting fades and the like since. I recently retracted my hair and noticed where my hair parts on each side had thinner hair then I'd ever noticed.

I'm a vegetarian, a worrywart, and do my best to take care of myself holistically in the event it slightly slows this down if I have real concerns. I've included some pics with my hair pulled back and a few from a few years ago where it still looks slightly the same..help?

Im not sure if this my weird *** growth pattern I've never noticed, because the pic in the hat was 4 years ago and I've had extremely long hair since. I also had this part as a baby really lightly as well.

To me everything looks ok.
But to be honest being a vegetarian has nothing to do with hairloss: if anything it can slow it down a bit...

Appreciate it. I stress a lot and just try to keep tabs on these kind of things...

If you think it isn't mbp, that'll go a long way toward convincing me lol

Simply because I guess this counts as an update...

I was able to finally get a haircut and shapeup my hairline but I can't tell if it's still my overreacting

First pic is day after haircut and the other if today a week later

Looks fine... Take pics every month or so to see if there are any changes before jumping on treatments just to be sure. But I can't see any reason to worry to be honest.

So no change at all from what I can see as we're mid July. Glad to see no progression.

Thanks to everyone for their honest replies though! Also starting taking extreme care of my hair by washing in non flouridated water, eating vegan/alkaline and add essential oils and aloe gel in my cantu curling shampoo.

According to the experienced people on this forum I've got no hair loss. Your hair looks better than mine so you could presume yours is pretty great as of now. I like your idea of taking care of your hair better, it's a good investment.

There are lots of people that has a weird parting or natural thinner area at the sides. I have like that as well. Could be thinning...could be a natural way your hair grows. Just keep an eye on it.
