I have puffy nipples and what looks like (could be) gynecomastia. i'm hoping it could just be fat. can excess fat in chest cause puffy nipples too?

Yes: Yes it can. See a doctor who will be able to do a physical examination to determine what kind of tissue is causing this situation with your nipples.
