How long can it take for hair to start regrowing after starting supplementation?

I'm a trans woman trying to improve my hair. I have no bald spots or pattern thinning, just overal diffuse low density. My hair has improved greatly in the 2 years since starting estrogen, but it's still sort of thin and stringy, and nowhere near the unmanageable thickness of my youth.

In early February I had my doctor check some things, and my Vitamin D level was recorded at 6ng/mL. I started supplementing 50,000 IU D² weekly, and my shedding improved after just a couple weeks. At my follow-up in early June my level was recorded at 42ng/mL, greatly improved! But I still am not seeing regrowth. Should I keep waiting, or is it just not going to happen for me?

Is it possible for ongoing weight loss to interfere with hair regrowth?

I got on E at 21 when I was 370lbs. I am now 23 and 215lbs. My crown has filled back in nicely but my entire scalp is still generally much thinner than it was before I started losing it around 18. It seems like diffuse thinning now rather than AGA. My thinking is telogen effluvium from the weight loss.

My endo also noticed in February that I was severely vitamin D deficient (6 ng/dL), so I've been supplementing that, as well as vitamin C, calcium, B12, and One A Day multivitamins.

My hair is not so thin that I am visibly balding, but my part is rather wide and my ends are very stringy and see-through, compounded by my hair being fine and curly. Is it possible that supplementing these vitamins could help me regain some of that teenage density I had, and if not now, maybe when I get my weight down to maintenance? Thanks for reading :3
