Guessing body fat is not very effective.  Body Fat Analyzers are a better option, unless you want real accuracy.  Then you will need a water displacement tank.

I treat many Bodybuilders with Gynecomastia.  They all tell me that building muscle is great for the body.  However, whatever is on top of the muscle gets pushed out further forward.

Hope this helps,

You've been misinformed then. Gynecomastia = famle shaped breasts. Doesn't matter if it's fat, pure breasttissue or a combination of both.

i think the term "hard lumps" is somewhat misleading.. to me it just felt like breast tissue.. if you feel your chest all over you will probably notice that part feels like fat and part feels different. im fairly sure that you will feel breast tissue behind your nipples. you can tell that you do exercise perhaps try and drop a bit more bodyfat before considering surgery (this will also make the difference between what is fat and what is gland more obvious)
