Easy to tell: Your physician can tell easily by feel. Don't try to guess yoruself. Both are very much worth treating surgically, though the procedures are different.

Physical Exam: Gynecomastia comes from the greek meaning "gyne" meaning woman and  "mastos"  meaning breasts.  it refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males. Usually, physical examination is all that is necessary to differentiate breast tissue from adipose tissue. Consultation with board certified plastic surgeons may be helpful.
