Question in title.

And can you have naturally thin and fine hair while not miniaturizing?

Grab a shed hair and observe with detail if the strand gets progressively thinner (smaller diameter, less pigment) towards the root. If you have long hair, this will work better.

Compare the diameter of hair shafts on the top of your head to those on the side. If the side is thicker you are balding
Lmao here I did a comparison

T for Top and S for Side

The first hair strand is good.

However the comparison between the side and top does not look good. If you have any noticeable recession/thinning get on treatments.
