Three thoughts here.
1) Man-boobs due to fat are nothing like female boobs, which have a solid, meaty texture caused by the development of mammary glands and ducts. Fat is squishy.
2) This may not be relevant, but there is a congenital brian disorder, caused by maternal distress, which limits the androgen exposure of the developing fetus, resulting in a feminised brain.
If (and only if) you have this problem, there is a very good chance that taking an estrogen-like substance causes you to question the desire to feminise.
Theoretically, the feminised brain is expecting a chemical balance in your blood that matches a feminine body. When it detects what it considers to be a testosterone "toxicity", it throws you into a "girl" mode, which makes you seek other means of expressing your femininity. By taking an estrogen-like substance, you reassure your brain, and the desire to cross-dress, grow breasts, etc diminishes.
Of course, if you stop taking PM, red clover etc (though PM is vastly more effective) then, the desire returns!
It's quite a Catch-22 situation.... welcome to the club!
3) Lastly, if weight is a problem, then I really have to urge you with all seriousness to consider discarding the following from your dietary intake:
Bread,
Rice,
pasta,
Root vegetables (potatoes, parsnips, beet, and more than a very few carrots)
Fruit, other than berries
If you get hungry between meals, snack on meat, cheese, or brazil or macademia nuts. (high fat, low protein).
The ONLY reason mammals put on fat is because they eat more carbohydrates than they need.
The ONLY purpose of fat deposition is to provide energy when the carbs consumed is less than the energy expended.
Therefore, if you eat no more than 30-100g of carbs per day (not less than 30 or you won't be able to metabolize your fat) then you WILL burn your fat. But, if you eat 1 gram more carbs more than the energy you expend, you WILL NOT lose any fat.
Forget calories. They are a nonsense. The way metabolism works, the only thing that counts are carbs. (The doctors are as stupid as the "climate scientists")
The only solid way to lose fat is with a lifestyle change based on very, very, few carbs.
Good luck!
