If you do not have a qualifying person as a dependent on your tax return then you cannot have Head of Household filing status.

Q. Do i claim hoh if my 21 y son lives with me. i dont claim him as a dependant

A. No, he must be your dependent, to be a qualifying person for Head of Household filing status.

There is one exception to that rule: If he is not being claimed, as your dependent, because his other parent (the non custodial parent) is claiming him as a dependent. Even then, it would depend on more info.

I can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return. I initially filed and included a 1095-A. I now want to remove the 1095-A but cannot. How do I do this?
