hold your phone as far as you can from your face and then take an actual side photo
 
Your mandile is definitely your biggest recession followed by your maxilla and infraorbitals
Are there any non surgical options to fix this, even if it’s just a bit (16 Years old)?

For your maxilla you can change some habits (swallowing,tongue posture,etc) and get MARPE these things won't give you much but could give you atleast a bit of foward growth and for your mandile you can't do that much would maybe recommed getting a schwarz expander and for your infraorbitals there's no non surgical option really (rep if this was helpful)

Seconding this. MARPE won't really help that much as most of the forum says. Only people with really narrow palates would benefit from it
