Well, if you're fat (like I was), adipose tissue aromatizes more testosterone to estrogen and you get gynocomastia (breast tissue growth). Also, because your body uses estrogen receptors to regulate testosterone levels, higher estrogen levels causes LH and FSH levels to drop, so you produce less testosterone.
I am very fat. My moobs are absolutely my least favorite part of that (visually anyway). A decade or so ago, I read on Reddit that one can get fluid drained to reduce the size of man boobs, regardless of physical fitness.
I want to get this done but feel stupid asking to be put under for a purely vanity matter.
I've lost about 75lbs+ of fat, and have a small amount of gynocomastia. After having kept the weight off for over 3 years most of my loose skin has shrunk back, but I still have a bit. It's like wearing a skin suit a size too big. My current efforts are focused on adding muscle to fill out the saggy skin. I think I'll be able to build my pecs enough to use the gynocomastia to just make it look like I have bigger pecs. That's the hope anyway.
Good for you! And good luck to you.
