Yes, you do have mild puffy nipples and a bit of gyne as well.

It is well known that when stimulated, puffy nipples can look normal -- but just for a brief period of tie.  When they relax, the puffiness returns.

The puffiness is due to breast tissue (which may not "feel" firm) directly under the areola, which pushes out the tissue.  When the nipples are stimulated, the areolar skin tightens (there is a small muscle within the areolar skin) and pushes the tissue down into the breast, thereby flattening the nipple.  When the muscle relaxes, the puffiness returns.

The only way to permanently cure this problem is with surgery.  Do your homework and find a gyne specialist if at all possible.

Good luck!
