Hello,If the forgetfullness is even for important tasks and is increasing then you should get a detailed evaluation by a neurologist.I think you you can get an MRI scan of brain,thyroid levels and Vit. B 12 level to rule out any organicity.Ideally, forgetfullness  comes after 65-70yrs of age,  but if :There is some family history of memory problem at early age in any previos family member OR if there is any illness or any accident then itight happen early.You should also have informed about your  predominant mood - if it is sad or anxious or anything else (but not ok usually) then this can also lead to forgetfullness. Here the psychiatrist can help as there is no neurological problem found in usual cases.So, please see if you need to see a neurologist or a psychiatrist by looking in the points mentioned above.wish you good luck.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Neuropsychiatry
