Yeah I was in a similar situation to this before transitioning. Had a shittier version of your dream, had real anxiety around ageing as a guy, especially around hair, never related to boys (don't hang out with any anymore really), wished I looked like women and found them pretty in an envy way (noticed with hindsight), and I asked myself if I was trans, or NB, a lot. Of course, this isn't a guaranteed formula for transness, but my thought process before was "well, it would be an improvement, if not small" to "BIG IMPROVEMENT, don't look back", so I relate to this a lot.
About the hair, I asked myself "would I transition and start HRT if it meant I could keep my hair?", and the answer was a quick yes. Another reason to start looking into HRT and transition was my voice, but I didn't know at the time that feminine HRT can't really do that. By that point though, I liked the thought of most, if not all, of the changes, and I like them more every day. The link GenderIsOpSec posted goes over the changes that can be expected, and also just general clues towards what could be dysphoria. If you research all this and decide against it, congratulations on achieving cis+ status. If you decide to try and don't like it, you're never locked in. Most of the hormone changes can be reverted (most noticeable permanent change is breast growth, though there's also options that prevent it). However, if you do decide to transition, and you like it, congrats on your new gender!
