Male breast tissue: About 1/2 males will undergo a transient nipple/breast enlargement at he onset of puberty.Carrying extra weigh aggravates the issue as part of the enlargement is fat.Most will resolve slowly as other hormonal changes kick in over about a year. If the process is unchanged after 2-3 yrs ;you've made an effort to lose any extra weight, it is time to discuss it with a surgeon. No meds will fix it
