You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects.

Since you said the hair loss is mainly from the vertex, it looks like androgenic alopecia.
You can try Minoxidil 10% lotion .
Apply a few drops on the affected area and rub gently at night. Wash the hands immediately after application.
Wash the head next day morning.
If any irritation occurs ,stop application.
Try for atleast 2 months if no improvement, then no need to continue.
