If I cure the reason of my hair loss, say it was malnutrition, and then discontinue using Minoxidil, will the new hair fall out?

I've been shedding at a very slow rate. It's been almost three years and now my hairline appears thin in some areas and if I part my hair down the middle a lot more of my scalp shows them it used to. I also noticed hair thinning behind my ears. If this is because of lack of vitamin D or other malnutrition, if I cure that while using mi oxisols and then stop using it will the new hairs still fall out again?
