Yes your corneal thickness seems to be insufficient but you may be able to try for FemtoLasik or epilasik.. unless the corneal topography value is seen cannot make any clear decision,ICL may be a good option

Refractive surgery should ideally be done when Power/Refractive error doesn't change at least for 1 year..it require proper evaluation before commenting in ur case, so u can visit your nearest ophthalmologist for detailed evaluation & discuss the things in your case.

You can go ahead with LASIK. Even if the no comes back it will be not very early and might be just 1 or 1.5

Is your power stable for a period of one year and corneal topography is suitable then why not Probably your power is not stable I.e increasing on every visit so your doctor must have told you about recurrence
