No, gynecomastia generally does not get resolved with weight loss and exercise. Weight loss, however, helps in overall health benefits and gives you a desirable shape. If you see severe symptoms, consult your doctor and get it treated through medicines or surgery whatever is applicable and best for you.

Hi lybrate-user, gynecomastia, the appearance of large male breasts, generally results from an imbalance of the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone. This can be the results of life changes, such as hitting puberty or middle-age, prescription medications, drug use, or illness. Please mention your son's height and weight also.
