It is a normal appearance. Your gums are at the right level, they have not receeded. This appearance is because the bone housing the tooth root is thin and there is a root prominence seen

This is not gum recession.
Probably looks like gum thickness is less..
As you are just 20 and now quit tobacco
You should improve vitamin C content in diet.
Citrus fruits milk and milk products..are a good source
If you see no improvement with this after a month then consider consulting a dentist

This is not gum recession. Your gum attachment is normal. However in that area gum is thin and roots of the teeth are giving that impression of whitishness. Nothing much can be done about this.
Health Tips
You have a little plaque and tartar on your teeth. You can get your scaling and polishing done
