I would start on finasteride and minoxidil first and see how you get on.
finasteride I've started tking pal recently 1mg but what scares me with minoxidil is side effects due to heart terrified and also the shedding seems awful as well just frightens me- problem I have is hair looks different in so many pics due to lighting as well oh what a mess lol

It's never too late man, just go for it. If you want to get a transplant later on the doctors will put you on finasteride anyway, so by starting now you'll be able to ease yourself into it slowly and if you need or want a transplant down the line you'll be used to taking finasteride already. Just don't expect awesome results, if they happen then great, if they don't start considering more treatments or start researching more about hair transplants. Also adding minoxidil+microneedling or dermarolling, maybe even tretinoin may be useful since many diffusers respond well to minoxidil.

Thanks bro really appreciate it i just gonna use finasteride for now I'm just scared about taking more I know I messed up not taking earlier but if it can be saved or at very least maintained im willing go with finasteride

Only issue I have major one is lighting just looks so diff in diff lighting

I really depends. Some people with diffuse can just grow it longer and it looks better. Others grow it longer.... and it looks worse. Regardless, you can at least use concealer in that situation. A receding hairline is much harder to hide.

True, its a case by case thing, very diffuse when grown out looks very bad when you can see scalp from all angles but I mostly see this in old guys. Recession mainly kills younger guys. Combo of both is the worst case scenario which seems to be the norm. I see indians and arabs go diffuse with NW1-3 hairlines in NW7 pattern but whites hairlines go back to NW4-NW5.

Also concealers are a godsend for not completely gone diffuse thinners which are NW1-3, there is a user here who uses concealers while being very diffuse but his hairline is decent for normies, if you are a thick recessed NW4 only a wig remains.
