Am I losing ground?

Hi(20M), had a massive shed from August to the middle of October, confirmed to be Androgenetic Alopecia by the dermatologist. It did subside by itself for about a month, though I still decided to start taking finasteride 0.5mg EOD (the dermatologist told me I would be golden on just Minoxidil). The thing is I am still losing hair (can be seen on pillow; if I am to vigorously rub my head, especially the crown area, a lot will fall out (a lot of tiny ones too)).
Is finasteride not working? Do I need to up my dosage to 1mg EOD?
I’ve attached my crown, the hairline is receding on one side(like 0.5 cm lower than the left).

I apologise, forgot to add that the shed was accompanied by Seborrheic Dermatitis. My scalp was very itchy, hair suddenly became very oily, huge amounts of dandruff to be seen. It stabilised either by itself or on finasteride, not exactly sure

Your crown is perfect. Keep in mind that finasteride sheds are not only limited to the first few months but happen periodically even for long term users. 0.5mg is still a potent dose.
