It's perfectly normal to lose up to 125 or even 150 hairs a day. More than 200 a day might be an indication of a problem. However, no one can actually tell from a photo, because it depends on how your part looked a few years ago, and whether there's any change. Which this doctor can't tell.
And monoxidil has serious side effects, so I strongly recommend against using it at this stage, since you'd have to use it for the rest of your life, essentially.
If you're really concerned, go to a doctor who knows you and can look at you face to face. And ask what if anything can be done. Your hair does look quite thick, too.
