what is your current routine and diet?

ALOT of people overtrain the shit out of their chest. you may or may not be one of them. i know at one time it seemed like everything grew but my chest. i dropped the volume and started doing incline first and i have made very impressive gains.

give us a little info about yourself and we can help.

do a bunch of different exercises for your chest. Use dumbells and then hit the chest with Hammer strength. Use heavy weight ,

My current routine Incline first like you said. 3 or 4 sets 8 to 12 reps
flat bench same sets and reps.
then dumb bell incline or dumb bell f;at bench
and cable cross overs

My diet is pretty clean I weigh around 175 and take in about 180 grams of protine a day I do like a good cheat meal. But I mostly eat grilled chickin and stuff like that.

I would try and up your protein to at least 1.5 grams per pound of body weight a day. 175= about 260 grams if chest mass is your goal.

Be careful not overtrain, short intense heavy workouts. I suggest you drop down to 3 working sets of Incline Presses, Flat Bench Presses, Incline Dumbbell Presses, Flat Flyes and drop the cross overs and add dips until you get the size you are after.
