According to your history, seems you have androgenetic alopecia.
Minoxidil is a good medication for the same, but it should be applied regularly twice daily. It usually shows effect in the form of increased thickness of hair and less hairfall after 3-6 months. Also, the recession of hairline cannot be corrected with medical management. For creating a new hairline you would need hair transplant, which can be assessed by consultation.
