I've learned the hard way. I used to weigh 288lb's(over 130kg). My weight consisted mainly of excess fat which was distributed fairly evenly around my body. I let my weight drop, due to a stress fracture I suffered and major indigestion problems. I now weigh 255lb's(117kg) and my body does look much thinner, except for my chest and abdomen. I recenly discovered that it's very hard to lose fat from those 2 parts of the body and it is unlikely that the fat around the breastbone will go without surgery. So because of weight loss I have ended up with man boobs and a belly which looks like i'm pregnant. I am now trying hard to put weight on, so that the rest of my body looks in proportion.

Do you have any advice for me? Discuss.

and binge eat.

I have to be very careful because as well as being the last place to lose fat, it's also the first place to put fat on, so I will have even bigger looking man boobs before the fat gets distributed. I'll end up having to get to 300lb's before I don't have noticable man boobs.

Yep, all the time.

Profanity is, however, just one of thosethings that would be better off not living.

sit-ups. lots of em

Situps don't burn fat from the stomach, that's a misconception people make. You only lose fat when your body needs energy and the activity isn't too demanding(over 120bpm) so that it will burn muscle.

You've misunderstood my point.

I want to be big and heavy but without having over proportioned man boobs.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Bench press those man boobs away you limey fool.
There is no benefit to being overweight, and its not healthy either. Which makes you a burden to others, especially when you get older.o_O
