Never in my life have I been a Norwood 1, I've always had an M shaped hairline before puberty, which always made me uncomfortable with short hair, I'd say a Norwood 1.5. As for my genetics, my dad went bald in his mid/late 30's, started thinning in his early/mid twenties, he has blonde straight fine hair, I have brown thick wavy/curly hair (like my mom's). Neither my paternal nor maternal grandfathers are bald, they both have a full thick head of hair.
Recently I've been noticing my hairline approaching a norwood 2, it looks pretty messed up when I pull it back, non-symmetrical and looks like it's thinning or just hairloss occuring.
I'm not sure if I'm experiencing male pattern baldness or something else, for starters I had a varicose surgery in my nuts almost a year ago and I started noticing this after that, and I've been anorexic for almost 3 years, underweight, poor diet, and my VITAMIN D and VITAMIN B12 levels are down below hell, doctors were surprised how I'm still functioning. They also told me that Those two Vitamins specifically cause hair loss and I have dangerously low levels of both of them.
So, can whatever recession I'm experiencing be due to poor health? Or am I going through male pattern baldness? I've had minor thinning on top, I used Garlic and Onion Therapy for 2 months and now has pretty much thickened up.
Need honest answers, thank you.
Oh and I'm only 19.

Oh and my shedding never exceeds the normal amount of 100-125 hair per day, but there are days where I don't shed at all, and days where I shed like crazy. I've also had sever chronic depression for 5 years.
