Grew out my hair since last post. My left temple seems to be thinning the most.

Okay so for full context last year was very stressful for me and maybe it could be attributed to that (I did notice shedding, but I've always shed a lot of hair)?? I was getting my haircut last year and that's when I really noticed that my left temple seems thinner. Last year I lost roughly 40lb as well going from 200lb to around 160lb. I kind of crash dietied as I lost weight( I know this isn't good) around sometime last year I preemptively started using minoxidil but I only used it on and off(my mistake as now I understand that you shouldn't do that) I think I did have a shedding faze and it may have fcked up that area but I've put some images from previous years to compare .

well it sounds like you know exactly what you did wrong. get consistent with oral minoxidil, get consistent about nutrition/protein, get consistent about getting bloodflow to your scalp via head massage. once all these bases are covered then you can reassess your situation.
