Hello and welcome to HCM,
First thing to consider is since you have a family history of hair loss, if there is male baldness in the family, you will be more prone to similar problems. You probably have androgenic alopecia. And medical treatment will help you to an extent.
Other causes to consider are hormonal(thyroid etc), any lifestyle or residence change, stress, any history of recent illness like typhoid, any chemical procedures, etc.

These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth.
For now you may start a minoxidil solution to scalp , along with hair supplements daily like Follihair. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months to see results. Use Hair4U shampoo and conditioner.
Do consult a dermatologist, to assess your type of hair loss and to give you treatment based on the results.
Since it is genetic, treatment may not completely stop or reverse the problem. It may slow down hair loss and improve the growth.
if medical methods do not work well for you,certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP.hair transplant etc, as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation, if they feel that it will be a good option for you.
Also get a good nutritious diet, avoid stress, smoking, get good rest.
Hope this guides you
