Am I balding already? (Photo)

amalvyr
So I'm 20 years old (just turned) and slightly concerned about the appearance of the hair near my crown being extremely thin looking. From certain angles it looks like a bald spot. Now my uncle on my mum's side is bald, and my dad also went bald from the back, I'm wondering if maybe I've been hit really early with the pattern baldness? Is there anything I can do to make it look less thin? Pictures attached from all different angles (I have bedhead in the photos which is when it looks its worst)
