Male with fat on the side of chest/just under armpits. What can be done?

blues4525
I'm an 39yo male and my body seems to really want to store fat just off the side of my chest. It's tough to describe the area -- it's not my pec, it's not gynecomastia. It's not the arm. It's not right in the arm pit either. When I see pictures of "bra bulge" in women, though, it kind of looks like what I have. My problem is that it will not go away, despite pretty intense exercise and calorie reduction. And it makes it *impossible* for me to find a shirt that fits. What can be done?
