From this picture, do you think I have overdeveloped masseter muscles or a lot of buccal fat? (Photo)

My face has always been broad, but I feel like it's gotten larger in the lower half of my face over the past few years. I have gained about 10lbs in that time and I've always thought that I must just gain fat in my face easily compared to other people until I did some research on TMJ and how jaw clenching can lead to a larger face.
