Exercise and muscle strength are great -- but they will not tighten skin directly -- they are two different structures.

However, if you have gyne surgery and your chest skin is slightly loose, then bulking up your pecs significantly can theoretically take up some of the slack of the overlying skin and therefore, indirectly, seem to tighten the skin.  But it will take a lot of muscle bulk to do so.
