Weight loss before Gynecomastia correction? Over 100 lbs lost, but does the last 50 really matter? (Photo)

unwrittenrainbow
I'm a 25YO 6'3" male. I have been as high as 333 lbs but am currently at 230 and have been holding steady for about 8 months. I really want to have it done but I've also read that it is best to get to your goal weight (185) first. I am diagnosed Idiopathic Tanner IV. I think the surgery might give me the motivation to keep it up despite no recent progress. Are there any real gains in losing the last 50 out of 150 pounds first?
