Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Discharge from the nipples, of yellow colour, 12 months after the breastfeeding is stopped is unlikely due to lactation.
Breast secretion is also increased in hormonal disturbances like increased prolactin levels.
I will suggest you to get your prolactin levels done and get further management accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
