I'm 17 and weigh around 72 kg. I've been dealing with what looks like male breasts for about three years, and it's really starting to bother me. I'm not sure if it's gynecomastia or just chest fat, but surgery isn't something I want to consider. Is there any medication or other solutions I could try to help with this? I'm feeling pretty embarrassed and would really appreciate any advice you can give.

Question

I'm really worried about something, and I hope you can help. I've noticed that my chest is developing in a way that looks like a female breast, and it's getting me quite stressed. I'm really hoping to find a solution for this, but I would prefer not to have surgery. Also, I've picked up a habit of masturbating twice a day, and I really want to stop doing it altogether. Any advice on how I can deal with these issues?
