Is 1.6mg finasteride at 18 a bad idea

I’ve been experiencing pretty significant hair loss the last 2 years and I started topical minoxidil a year ago and didn’t see any success so I switched to oral a few months ago but so far that hasn’t helped at all either and I just turned 18 this month so I finally got 1.7 mg fin from hims but I’m hesitant to try it because of what I’ve heard about it stopping development and potentially shrinking your shlong but I really don’t want to lose my hair I can never see myself being confident bald and the loss so far has really really messed up my confidence and mental health already so I don’t know what to do

A bit over a year and a half ago I noticed I thought my hair was thinning through the top sides temples back of the neck more recently my eyebrows started slightly thinning too I think so eventually I started topical minoxidil and all kinds of supplements about a year ago and switched to oral a few months ago I added a ghkcu spray too but it just keeps getting worse I vape which I know can counteract the effects off minoxidil and I’m trying to quit but as of now min is not working I’m thinking about getting on finasteride but I’m kind of worried because my diet has been very low quality and sugary plus I don’t get outside or exercise much and I’d also say I’m pretty stressed from a few different big things the last year or two so I’m worried I’ll start it and get sides for no reason when dht is potentially not even the problem I don’t really know what I’m asking for but if you have any ideas or advice for me that would be appreciated because I really really don’t want to be bald yet at least
