What genetic makeup do people from DG khan, pakistan have?

Question

I'm a diaspora pakistani, and I've always been curious about my genes. My moms side is from Lahore so ig its safe to assume im some type of punjabi from there. But my dads side is a bit more confusing/interesting. I know that we are from the Dera Ghazi Khan area in South Punjab. From my limited research, it shows a good chunk of inhabitants of this region have either punjabi and/or balochi genes. I also once over heard my dad saying something about how the area used to be inhabited by hindus/sikhs who went to India after partition leaving the land for the balochis to live in. idk how accurate that is tbh but yeah. So what is my most likely genetic background from my dads side?

Also, I'm no genealogy pro so please dumb it down just a bit, thanks.
