Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be related to low testosterone.Surgery less likely to be needed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Let me assure you that feeling of heaviness over your chest is not likely to be related to testosterone levels by any means. The cause could be simple hyperacidity or gastroesophageal reflux. The cause can be ascertained only after proper examination and investigation. The mode of treatment depends upon the cause. It is very unlikely that surgery would be required to treat the condition but prior to commenting upon that, the cause needs to be determined. All I can say that most often the ailment is simple and can be treated with medicines.
Proper healthy diet and regular exercise can help you in controlling your weight. You may also try going for electrical muscle stimulation therapy which is available at many slimming centres. I do not think that you need to go for surgery for this. Testosterone levels are also unlikely to be related to this condition.
Hope that helps.

Brief Answer:
It is normal and regresses in time without any treatment
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.
Let me assure you that gynecomastia is often a very frequently found as well as normal physiological development in many males and there is nothing to worry about unless the structure is too bothering for you. In most cases it spontaneously regresses and does not require surgery. Please check:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gynecomastia/basics/treatment/con-0000
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC0000/
Since I do not think that you require any treatment, I would not insist you to seek help from surgeons, many of whom might suggest surgery. I would not favour it unless it is too embarassing for you. In XXXXXXX visiting XXXXXXX or Maulana Azad Medical College should be the best as well as reliable options although many other options might be available.
Hope that helps.
