Brief Answer:
Looks like gynecomastia.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for using "Ask a doctor" service.
I reviewed your photos.
It seems to me like gynecomastia.
You do not seem to have a lot of overweight to have gained within one month so much fat only localized to the breast area.
Also since you have not exercised in some weeks, the muscles would go down, not grow in that area. On the other side it looks to me like breast like tissue look.
I suggest to talk to your doctor to switch finasteride with another medicine.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards, Dr. Klarida Papaqako, General and Family physician.
