27, diagnosed with PCOS - Do I have tubular breasts? (Photos)

I am a 27 years old woman diagnosed with PCOS. I would like to describe my breast shape and characteristics for your expert evaluation. Without a bra: My breasts appear widely spaced with no visible cleavage. The central chest area between my breasts is relatively flat and wide, almost resembling a thicker layer of soft tissue, similar to what you might see in overweight men. The overall shape looks saggy and lacks roundness, with a rather undefined contour. The breasts seem to sit low on my chest and appear somewhat like an A-cup in size. They do not have much projection or a distinct "mound" shape. With a bra: When wearing a bra, my upper breast area looks fuller, and I can achieve visible cleavage, making them appear more like a B-cup. The bra seems to lift and gather the tissue toward the center, creating a better-defined shape. But from what I’ve read, people with tubular breasts often say their breasts still look empty or poorly shaped even with a bra. I feel that my breast shape is underdeveloped or lacking structural support. The tissue feels soft. I'm unsure whether this is due to hormonal imbalance from PCOS or if I may have a mild form of tubular breasts. Could this breast shape be consistent with a tubular breast deformity, or is it more likely due to fat distribution or hormonal issues? And is it possible to improve my breasts shape with exercise, massage, and hormone balancing? I would appreciate your professional insight. Thank you.
