I have been embarrassed about my chest for a while.  That being said I am also overweight, being 5'11 and 205 pounds. Is this gyno or just fat? 
PS the pic with harder nipples is after i work out.

Yes, this is definitely gyno.  You have fat and breast tissue in excess.

If it bothers you, then consider seeking a gyne expert in your area for an opinion.  Only surgery can correct this problem.

Good luck!

I think you have gynecomastia. Some weight loss might make slight improvement (sometimes weight loss makes it look more prominent) but only surgery is going to fix the problem. Good luck.

This is likely gynecomastia. Your breasts could decrease in size if you lose weight, however there is a good chance there will still be some fullness, which can only be eliminated through surgery. 
You could first try losing weight to see if the problem improves enough that you are satisfied with your chest. If not, then seek out a gynecomastia specialist to discuss your surgical options.  Or, if weight loss is not in the future and your chest really bothers you, seek out a specialist now. 
Best of luck!
