Hello, I am new here. I am 20 y.o. I think I have gynecomastia. It is really embarrassing. This is stopping me from alot of things. I want to start swimming again but I am embarrassed to. And no matter how hot it is, I always wear a shirt underneath to hide my man boobs. I have started running to lose weight but i really doubt it is fat. I am so paranoid that i always think ppl are staring at my chest. I sometimes wear a hoodie even when its warm. What do you guys think gyne or fat? If its gyne, is it a bad case?

Thats not for your to decide buddy, the fact that he is posting these pictures on this site clearly shows he is bothered by it. Its not the severity of the gyne on which you can measure how much it bothers someone.

Gynecomastia is a contour issue. If the male chest has a female contour to it, even a subtle pubescent female contour, then it is gynecomastia by definition.

Photographs alone do not differentiate between fat vs. gland. Bulges in the belly extending to the flanks are consistent with a global fat component. The Anatomy of Puffy Nipple Gynecomastia will consist of fat, gland, and skin in all cases.

Have you checked your BMI Body Mass Index or your Body Fat Analysis?  Weight loss is the first place to start for making oneself feel better about one's body. Weight loss is a coarse tool, you cannot pick where the fat goes on, nor where it comes off. Male Body Fat Distribution tends to put fat on first on the belly and chest bands and takes it off those regions last.

No Surgery Body Shaping Vests are a great temporizing measure to contour the body while trying to lose weight or stabilize problems.

Hope this helps,
