Brief Answer:
As explained below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Gynecomastia can be due to many reasons such as hypogonadism, cirrhosis or medications. Usually, it subsides within 2 years. As it has not subsided on its own, I suggest you get a blood test and hormonal study and complete investigations to find out the diagnosis.
Medications used to treat breast cancer may be helpful for some men with gynecomastia. These are prescription drugs hence you need to visit an endocrinologist/plastic surgeon for the same.
I hope this answered your query.
Regards
