Does it matter? The term gynecomastia means, male breast enlargement!

Yea it does matter to me, I want to know if I need surgery or it will disappear if I just keep losing fat.

You have puffy nipples, which indicates some breast tissue under the nipples which pushes them out.  No amount of weight loss or fat reduction will help.  It would require surgery to remove the tissues so that the nipples remain flat and flush with the surrounding skin at all times.
Yes, the nipples do look good when they are cold or physically stimulated.  If you like that look, then the only alternative to surgery is to walk around with an ice cube and rub it on your nipples 24/7.

The point of all this is that there is not a single answer that is correct for everyone.  But there is a best answer for you.  Whether that is to accept it, embrace it, or get surgery to reduce it;  you will have the support and understanding of us here.

Just consulted a reputabke plastic surgeon in my area, he said that I definitely don't have any gland and that it was all fat, and that I only need liposuction. I was really annoyed but the fact that my nipples were fully erect the whole consultation since he had an air conditioner on in his office, which made my nipples and chest lookk  perfect , what should I do now I'm really confused.

What should you do?  Get another opinion!!!

Understand, many times one cannot "feel" the difference between fat and breast tissue.  Fat can feel firm in some patients and gland can feel soft.

Bottom line:  puffy nipples are always due to presence of gland under the areola -- not fat. And liposuction, in general, does not remove gland -- only fat.  My guess is that if you proceeded with surgery, you would end up with puffy nipples and be dissatisfied.

Be smart and seek another opinion, preferably with a gyne expert in your area -- or be prepared to travel to see one.  It is always better to get it done right the first time, rather than to have surgery, be disappointed and need additional (revision) surgery at additional cost.

I think you should definitely get the surgery. A body like that should be able to wear fitted and tight shirts without the nipples sticking out.
