As a last resort, I got hold of some Tamoxifen and took 10mg a day for 3 months and the gyno reduced by about 80%. There's still a little left, but nowhere near what was there before. I'm taking the Tamoxi again at the moment, but the last little bit doesn't seem to be shifting.

It might not work for you, but if you can prevent surgery for $60 its worth it.

Male gynecomastia includes the growth of actual breast tissue (due to lowered testosterone levels), which is different to fat, and cannot be reduced by cardio. You can do cardio to reduce overall fat levels and improve the shape of the breast but the gyno usually remains. The problem then is that as you get into the lower bf% range, the gyno around the actual nipple can become more obvious to the observer.
