I have been told that if you can squeeze your chest and it’s soft, it’s just fat. If there is something hard under the nipple, it’s gynecomastia. Can you please tell me a way to self test gynecomastia.

Gynaecomastia is actual breast tissue. This is not the same as fat. If you can feel actual breast tissue under the nipple, this is gynaecomastia, as opposed to someone simply being overweight. I would not expect you to be able to feel the difference unless you are a trained doctor however.
You’re actually right…you squeeze each breast separately & if it felt hard then it’s gynecomastia (actual breast tissues with glands) but if it’s just soft like any part of your body with fat then it’s just fat. Besides, you should check the reason behind your gynecomastia to make you suspect in the 1st place (like liver cirrhosis, if you’re taking spironolactone diuretic, thyrotoxicosis, kidney failure….etc)
