Pseudogynecomastia is really a poor term. Learn why on that link. A fatty woman's breast is still a breast. The normal Body Fat Distribution does tend to put fat on first the chest and belly regions with weight gain. Those areas do come off last with weight loss. When global body fat is an issue, losing weight first is the better way to go. Weight loss can help with the fat component of gynecomastia.  Residual fat, gland, and skin remain possible issues.

There is a thin Areola Muscle that when stimulated flattens puffy nipples. Once that muscle relaxes, the underlying contour again reveals. 

Hope this helps,
