Been bothered by my deep labiomental fold and aesthetics of my facial profile for some time. What is my Best Option? (photo)

I'm male, 19y.o., quite bothered about my chin aesthetics, espeically my unpleasant-looking labiomental fold. I have a slight overbite (the top teeth are overlapping around 50% of my bottom teeth) and apparently this isnt something that absolutely needs correction. Could it be the cause of my LMF? Also, I don't know if I have a weak chin or an undeveloped lower jaw and if it actually can deepen my LMF even more. Is everything seems alright with both my chin and jaw?
