How to reduce male boobs my overbust is 40 inches and underbust is 37 inches - #11063
I am a male with an overbust measurement of 40 inches and an underbust of 37 inches. This gives the appearance of male breasts, and it is affecting my confidence a lot. I want to reduce my chest size and make it look flatter and more masculine. I am confused whether this condition is due to fat (pseudogynecomastia) or hormonal imbalance (true gynecomastia). Can you guide me on how to identify the cause correctly? If it is because of excess fat, what would be the best workout and diet plan to target fat loss from the chest area? I have heard that spot reduction is not possible, but I would like to know which exercises can strengthen and tone the chest muscles while I lose overall body fat. If it is because of hormones, should I consult an endocrinologist before considering surgery? Are there natural or medical treatments to balance hormones and reduce male breast tissue? Also, what lifestyle changes (such as diet, sleep, exercise, or supplements) can speed up the process? I want to know the safest and most effective way to reduce male boobs without harming my health.
