Normal hormones: Hi. Dr. Ivy Fisher, a pedi MD. This is 
normal sometimes thru puberty as your
hormones are increasing esp estrogen.
This will calm after 19 yrs of age.
Gynecomastia is common also as breast tissue

People who are overweight may have this issue  
awhile. Yours should subside. You can consider an
endocrinologist if the problem worsens or increases over time.
