Hi Chin up
As pointed out you have diffused loss, your hair characteristics are curly, this will help with coverage in that when grown it will allow the curl to give surface area coverage so traditionally less grafts can be needed to give an illusion of coverage in the recipient area.
The downside is that curly hair types often have a lower natural starting density in the donor which may also be your case, so the amount of grafts taken via FUE alone will be more limited as FUE in essence takes from density not surface area as Strip does.
As hairtech suggested you may need a combination of techniques in order to get the coverage you want. In an ideal world most would opt for FUE only but it is a matter of supply and demand and you may find with FUE alone you will be limited and your curl could also make FUE more challenging.
As Janna mentioned consultations would be a good start, get your density measured, laxity, etc. Surgery on a diffused thinner brings about challenges and being on medication is a good idea as shock loss could also be a potential issue.
If you can you may find posting donor pictures would also be advantageous and then as said look to see several clinics for a personal assessment with a doctor.
Best of luck with your research.

My donor pictures have turned out blurry, no point adding them. I will try to get some clearer shots.
