Hello, guys! My name is James, I'm 24 and I want to apologise in advance if my post is against regulations but I figured I would give it a shot and ask since everyone seems so friendly here. So, basically the past few weeks I've started to worry about my hairline receding or possibly balding. Now, I've never really been worried about losing my hair since no one in my family has a history of baldness but I've been reading about hair loss online recently and started to feel insecure and question my hair. I've always had a slightly higher hairline and a slightly bigger forehead but it's never been really noticeable. I've read that I might have a maturing hairline, which I would be fine with if it stays like it is currently for the foreseeable future. I am worried, though, that it might be receding and get progressively worse. When I go out I usually style my hair and put wax in it to keep it spiky or at least pointing upwards. Also, this past I've lost about 65 pounds and I don't know if that may have some sort of effect on my hair. I haven't noticed any thinning and there hasn't been any excessive shedding. I've attached some images that will hopefully give you an idea of what my hair looks like. Basically I just don't know if it's receding or maturing or if anything is happening at all. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts 
This is from the front where I think everything looks pretty normal.
This is the left side where I can't tell if it's receded a little.
This is when I try to pull it back.
Another one of the left side from a slightly different angle.
My hair here is wet and slicked back to try and show my hairline more clearly.
Same as the previous one but this time from the right side.
And wet and slicked back but from the top.
Finally, this is an image from 4 years ago. My hair is shorter here but can't tell if the left side is worse now.
