Do pushups make gynecomastia bigger? (Photo)

Igotquestions
I think I have gynocomastia. I'm yet to go to the docters because my parents find it unreasonable and frankly stupid, and they keep telling me I'm fine. Anyway I think I have this, I've been doing about 6 sets of 20 diamond pushups every other day, I try to be outside on most days a couple hours running around or riding my bike. I eat 2200 calories a day and I weigh 129-131 pounds at a height of 5'5. Bottom line is, will pushups make my gynocomastia worse? And will it leave natural?
