Considering your age, the condition you have can be aggressive periodontitis. Usually starts at a young age and can be genetically inherited as well. Surgery prevents further detoriation of gums and surrounding bone, but cannot repair the damage already happened (bone loss except in few cases). Even after surgery, regular follow up every 6 months is the key. Visit a periodontist (gum specialist) who can explain the condition. Also please confirm if the procedure performed in 2016 is deep cleaning (Curettage) or flap surgery
