I don't usually visit this subreddit, but I saw your post and I thought I could help because I've experienced something similar too. First, for a temporary fix, check out Caboki/Toppik hair fibers or Toppik Hair Thickener spray. You can find them at your local drugstore or on Amazon. It will help hide the thinning spots until you find out what's causing this. The fibers can brush off easy once applied, so you'll need a medium/strong hold hair spray to keep them on your hair. The Toppik Hair thickener spray is more convenient than the fibers because it coats your scalp - kinda like spray paint. It's very safe and I used it to hide my thinning spots successfully. I actually preferred it to the fibers. In your case, I think it should work pretty well.
Next, make an appointment with your doctor and see if you can't get to the bottom of what's causing this. I don't think it's likely you suffer from androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) given your lack of family history and the way in which you're losing hair, which is not the typical vertex/temple loss.
This looks to me like it's possibly telogen effluvium, which is temporary in the majority of cases. It basically makes healthy hairs on your head fall out prematurely. You lose your hair diffusely (all over your head) or in spots (or both if you're lucky like me). It can be triggered by any number of things, like stress or new medication, which is why you should see your doctor. I suffered from telogen effluvium caused by an anti-depressant I was taking. It made me lose hair all over my head. It didn't all fall out, but it got thinner. Some spots were worse than others and my hairline got hit pretty badly as well. It started off as barely noticeable, but it became pretty obvious after 3 months on the medication. I used to have thick long shoulder length hair until I had to buzz it because it started to look ridiculous. You're nowhere near that point, so don't worry about shaving your head. My trigger was obviously the medication, so I stopped. It's been 3 months since then and I'm seeing slight improvement, but my doctor says it takes at least 6 months to a year for your hair to return to normal once you figure out and stop what's causing it. You won't know for sure until you're examined. Don't shave your head or use Rogaine or any other extreme treatments until you know for sure what kind of hair loss you have.
