Overall do I suffer from male pattern baldness?

I made a post earlier asking about the sides of my head, but now I'm wondering about overall. Am I losing my hair due to male pattern baldness or am I okay.

Some details include that I'm a 31 year old asian that has thick black coarse asian hair and my scalp and skin is pale. My hair is usually very spiky when short and turns into a bob when long. My dad started thinning in his late 50's, my grandpa is bald, but he's 87 and I never meet my grandpa on my mom side because he passed away, but my mom told me he did have hair in his 50's. I already went to a hair restoration specialist back in 2018 and he told me my hair was fine. I also sent pictures to a hair clinic in early 2018 and early 2019 and they told me my hair looks fine and I went to see a dermatologist around April 2019 and they told me my hair was fine. I was wondering am I losing my hair at all?

Okay so you're saying its thinner in the sense that each strand is more spaced out so you can see more of my scalp especially with pale skin and black hair, but you're not saying its thinner as in the hair strands are getting thinner do to male pattern baldness. Is that right?

Its normal to see scalp with shorter hair, the sides are shorter than the top, which is why you see the difference.

Thanks for replying Melvin. I made another post that I don't know if you read or not. Sometimes while shampooing every other day I would see 20 - 25 strands of hair in the drain. The days when I don't shampoo and I just rinse my hair I see about 5 - 10 strands and when I shampoo I see 15, 20 and as high as 25 strands. Should I be concerned?

 

Also is it normal to sometimes shed hair that is thinner in diameter then other strands? They are the same length just thinner. Sometimes when combing or showering the majority  of the hair I find is the same thickness, but I would sometimes find 3 - 5 strands of hair that appear thinner then the rest. Is this a concern or is it normal to have some hair that is thinner in diameter on your head as long as its not the majority?
