If hair not falling out and no receding then hair is still growing, right?

I'm a 26 yo male, always had super fast growing and thick hair, hair cut a month, prob more frequent actually. Recently been sick w/mono and random ear infection but over those though been worn down a little still. I got a bad way short hair cut ( I like sort of spiky in front, military ish hair do) and tried to 'alter' it on my own, and it got see through short. I'm impatient about it growing back, and I know hair maybe at best grows .6 inches/mo but the big? I have is as long as my hair isn't falling out in any way, and no receding (though my cowlick which always is big is now very visible under bright light like iPhone photo I snapped), then my hair is fine and just needs like few weeks to get normal-ish, right? I did this one time before as I get obsessive and think I can 'fix' my own hair and it got see-through short but 10 days or so was somewhat respectable. Just wondering. Also lost few pounds in last week or so trying fasting intermittent. That can't do much right as long as no major weight loss? Thanks

Added (1). hairline is not receding or anything just to make clear. I have always had thick hair and frequent hair cuts. It would be like a sudden 180 to have receding. I just got it super short. Though w/the mono my concern was it was affecting thyroid or something and stress, too, as my energy has plunged a lot lately. Gut tells me I'm fine. Just helps mentally if I know that as long as hair isn't falling out at all then I'm not suddenly in big trouble/balding early signs!

Your hair is still growing

Even if your hairline is receding, what ever hair you still have is still growing.

Not always

I have only used Argan life shampoo a few times so far but I have been plea sed with the results. My hair feels soft and smo oth and it leaves some nice wavy curls. And per fect delivery!
