Hi,
I'm 6ft 155lb 20 years old and I'm wondering if have gyno or is it just fat. I've been working out for some time and lost some weight but puffiness of my nipples still bothering me. I would like to hear your opinions.

IMHO you do small amount of gland.  Loosing fat may help you a little, but the gland will still be there.

Good luck!

Looks like stage 1 gyno

Maybe 0.5 stage. 
Good grief, I don't see anything but a normal male chest.

Looks like my nipples, I'm a bit less fat than you though (Don't mean to offend!).

Fat does not cause puffy nipples -- gland does.

You are a tad overweight but you also have some excess tisue on your chest.  You can exercise / diet and lose weight, but some of that tissue will most likely remain.  You then have a choice of wearing a snug compression garment to provide a better shape in your clothing -- or consider surgery.  If you do the latter, make sure you consult a gyne expert in your area.

Good luck!

I agree with Dr Jacobs, but would add that you can also simply ignore it. Many men with breasts much larger than yours do just that.
