In my experience, the presence of puffy nipples indicates excess breast tissue directly under the areolas -- there is no other possible cause.  Puffy nipples alone can be considered gynecomastia.  They can exist alone on a skinny body or can co-exist with extra tissue across the entire chest.

On the other hand, one can have excess tissues on a male chest without puffy nipples -- it is still called gynecomastia.
