See your doctor. One of the side effects of too much fat as a teenager is...wait for it...estrogen. Yes, high levels of body fat result in the body getting tricked into generating the hormone that causes the development of breast tissue.

In other words, the persistent breasts may be due to your having developed breast tissue, and no amount of diet and targeted exercise is going to get rid of them. Only a doctor can discriminate between mammary hyperplasia and adipose deposits.

If it's stubborn fat, you're a candidate for liposuction. If it's true gynecomastia, the doc can do a transaxillary internal mastectomy. Runs about $6,000 if insurance does not cover it.
