Hi Arjun,

You might want to compare your photos with photos from the last few years to see whether your hairline has receded a touch. It is possible that there is some recession in your hairline even at such a young age. So, compare with previous photos and if it is fairly obvious then consider taking meds to help delay any further loss (Finasteride/Minoxidil) . See your GP.

Thanks but now it is quite noticeable unlike previous photos

Hard to say without reference, that frontal tuft looks like it might be thinning.

Have you spoken with a dermatologist or primary care physician about possibly taking finasteride?

A mature hairline at 21 is almost always indicative of MPB. That’s because at 21 you’re still a very young man, so naturally seeing signs of recession at a young age generally means MPB. 

To be frank, a mature hairline is MPB, but the difference between the man who’s 41 with a mature hairline and the 21 year old is the rarte of loss. The 41 year old man has very mild non-aggressive hair loss while the 21 year old may or may not.
