Hair thin on top 1 year post partum

Hi all!
I’m one year PP and started shedding hair about 9 months post partum - my hair is starting to get a bit thin on top and my crown is pretty visible. There is a little bit of new growth along my parting but seems a bit sparse compared to the amount lost! Wondering if this is normal and if anyone else experienced this?! Will it go back to normal and if so when?! The joys of post partum…. Stopped breastfeeding at 4 months so don’t think it’s that and bloods showed marginally low iron so taking tablets but nothing else.

So I'd be asking for blood tests, especially re thyroid function. I believe the majority of post partum hair loss is much earlier on as it's not true hair loss, it's hair that hasn't been shed during pregnancy that then all comes out in one go creating a thinness once hormone levels drop. At nine months most of this has already happened, so I'd want to check that there's nothing else going on.
