I'm sorry to say that it's gynecomatia, and it will require surgery! If you do decide to get surgery, please do your homework and find a very qualified surgeon with a proven track record or you may be less happy after the surgery then you are before!

This forum is a great place to start with your search. 

Good luck!

No question, get your hormones checked out in order to find a root cause.

You appear to be a little overweight, but in spite of that, you have gynecomastia.  If you've had this for over a couple of years, it's not going away without surgery.
Try to find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area with experience doing this type of surgery. Best of luck!
