Reason and cure for Receding Hairline?

I am only 17 and I have a receding hairline. It is not coming out in chunks so I do not believe that it is a serious medical condition. But my hairline is getting pretty bad. I am not sure why, it may genetic or dietary but I want to know a few things.
Will the hairloss stop after I'm done with puberty and come into adulthood?
What could be the possible causes for the hairloss?
Is there anyway to regrow the hair?

Please, I don't want to be bald by the time I am 25.
Thank you.

My grandfather and dad both have hair.
I don't really think that it is genetic.
I'm a vegetarian so maybe I don't get enough protein but I am certainly not underweight. haha
I weighed aroung 150 last time I was weighed but I may weght around 160
It was a long time ago.

Hair loss can be genetic if you have males in your family that went bald at an early age. You may not eating enough protein which may cause hair loss too, but usually in clumps. From your height and weight you wrote you are about 18lbs underweight for your height.
