you can't lose fat and gain weight at the same time.

also, if the rest of your body fat % is fairly low, and you still have fat tissue only around your nipples, its possible you may suffer from some sort of gyno. i'm 23 and i suffer from it. my body fat percentage is fairly low, but no matter how lean i am, my nipples are still puffy and stick out. i've had it since puberty. its caused by an imbalance of hormones. most people say it will go away with age, but i'm 23 and it still shows no signs of leaving.

dang bro this sucks so pretty much i have to wait it out and if it doesnt change with age consider some kind of surgery?

[music_man185]

yes...but that is worst case scenario. its possible you dont even have it. i dont want to freak you out or anything. the only true way to find out is go see a doctor.

Im sure its probably just baby fat. Keep the diet clean, watch the waist line, and grow my man. You should be fine.

I've experienced this problem to some extent. I've been fairly big since early college (I'm 29 now...and yes, "early college" means 18-20ish) but that's always been at a fairly high body fat percentage. Now that I've trimmed down significantly; I notice that I'm still not out of the woods on this issue but as my BF% decreases and my muscularity increases, I'm happier with the appearance of my chest. This is causing me to believe that a little stubborn excess chest fat can be overcome or compensated by improved size and muscularity of the chest muscles themselves.

Lift hard and heavy, eat clean, start running after you lift. I think you'll be pleased with the results.

keep lifting heavy and eating right, when you gain some good amount of size to your chest no you or anyone else will notice that little fat around your chest or puffy nipples. just focus on adding more size to your chest bro and you'll be fine.

If you are 6 foot and weigh just 155 with a decent build, your body fat muscle be very low. This arouses suspicion as to why you have chest fat. It does sound like gyno, it should go away. Get huge! That will help.

Simple, keep control of your diet. If you cant control your diet, you will never lose the weight.

Yeah dude I feel your pain. Got the same problem with the nipples, only im a little bigger in weight it seems then you as im 5'9 and 180. Just keep lifting though and keep eating right, it can't hurt if you work out and eat healthy. The puffy nipples should go away by your late 20's according to what my doc said when I asked him about mine. I dont think you should take anything to mess around with hormones right now though at your age though if youre thinkin about it, because that will probably make it worse.

Puffy nipples are not gynaecomastia. Gynaecomastia is the growth of breast tissue in a male due to an imbalance of female growth hormones. If you can grab a solid mass feeling like a coin or suchlike under the nipple (ie if there is breast tissue there), it is more likely to be gynae. Also, some pre/post pubertal males have this problem also and it goes with time.

Alternatively, some people just have puffy nipples! Lets calm it a little.......
