Receding, Maturing, Or Just Baby Hair?

So I am a male, 20 years old. I have always had a very Sharp/distinct v-shaped widows peak since I could remember.My hairline is has also always been very uneven with my right temple extending back more than my left. In addition, I have an extremely thick head of hair; so thick that barbers always comment on it and almost always have to thin it with a special pair of scissors before proceeding with the haircut. But lately, after a few months of having long hair, I pulled it back just to check my hairline out of curiousity, and noticed that my left temple has a row or two of short strands of hair, and right after those two rows, the density and length of the hair are very full throughout.

It has been 8 months since I first noticed it it, and after checking it multiple times daily, It does not look like it has receded any more since I first noticed it. But I feel like it can still be receding, but just very slowly. So I want your opinion, because I am very paranoid about the situation. My hair is also still as thick as it usually was. I am not at all experiencing excessive hair-loss while taking shower or brushing hair, either.

Family History: My dad and his brothers have a full set of hair and they are all in their late 50's. My mom is 48 and has extremely thick hair. one of her brothers is going bald, but according to him, he didn't start noticing it until his early to mid 40s'. Her other brother has a full and thick set of hair. My grandpa did not start balding until his late 50's early 60's. Here are some pictures of my hair throughout the past few years. So what do you think: Maturing, more baby strands, receding, or I'm just paranoid?

Note: My hairline always had short strands on the edges all over,but I feel like the ones on my left temple are excessive.

If it is early onset male pattern baldness, what are my options?

Hey man! My two cents on this matter is that if you feel that the changes are quite bothering and also worsening over time then I suggest that you immediately get professional help. In this way, you can already halt any progression. This could also check for any underlying medical condition from which hair loss is a side effect.

Thanks man. And Based on your experience, do you think I may be overreacting, or it would be something you would also worry about if you saw to your hair? In other words, am I showing all the right symptoms of male pattern baldness or do you think it's just something else?
