I've always had really thick, full hair, but lately, I've been losing a lot of it, and thats never happened to me before. My hairline has receded by about 5cm, and my hair seems to be getting thinner and weaker every day. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking finasteride 1mg tablet once daily can help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It's important to be consistent with these treatments to see results.
