After losing a significant amount of weight, i seem to still be carrying a lot of weight in my chests (very pronounced moobs) despite no longer being overweight and carrying any significant weight elsewhere. how can i lose this weight?

Weight loss: Glad to hear you were able to loose the weight. The excess breast tissue MAY need to be removed surgically. Please see your family doc for a start. He/she MAY refer you to a plastic surgeon. Peace and good health.

Gynecomastia: You need a physical exam. May need to rule out endocrine abnormalities...
