Can a male's areolas get smaller via weight loss?

Ret_654
I am a 16 year old male who has been very overweight my whole life. Lucky for me I'm tall so I don't have a gut but I have rather large areolas and I want to know If I lose weight (I've lost 40 lbs without exercise and I'm starting a plan within the week) and eliminate my "man beasts" do I have any hope of them shrinking when/if my chest goes flat? Even a little? Figured my answer could be different from a females since I could potentially eliminate my "breast" when a female can't without surgery.
