Hairloss is not stopping despite using finasteride and minoxidil (Photo)

fixself
I've been using 1mg finasteride and topical minoxidil for treating my hairloss for past 4years but since April 2023 I've been gradually losing all my hair from unexpected places like sides and back. Sides of my scalp has thinned out significantly. I'm observing thinning happening at the back of my scalp as well. I recently got blood test done and my DHT was 206.27pg/ml. I'm not sure what are the next steps for me. Please advise.
