I'm 21 and I've been dealing with gynecomastia since I was in school. I've tried going to the gym, hoping it would help, but I still don't feel confident enough to tackle strength exercises. Can you provide any advice on how to get rid of this? I'm really determined to address it now and just want to have a normal-looking chest. Any suggestions on medications, diet plans, or if I should see a doctor would be really appreciated. This situation is just so frustrating.
