pembesaran payudara pria, yaitu ginekomastia

While 'man boobs' is a descriptive, non-technical term for the condition of gynaecomastia/gynecomastia/ginekomastia, in the context of the sentence provided, I believe that a descriptive term, followed by the technical term, using Indonesian spelling, is appropriate.
Example sentence:

Pembesaran payudara pada pria dibedakan menjadi dua, yaitu karena bertambahnya jaringan kelenjar payudara (ginekomastia) atau karena meningkatnya bantalan lemak di daerah dada (pseudoginekosmatia atau ginekomastia palsu).

Dalam dunia medis, pembesaran payudara pria disebut ginekomastia.

gynecomastia (pembesaran dada pria)

Man boobs bukanlah istilah resmi. Istilah ilmiah yang resmi ada gynemocasatia. Definisinya adalah pembesaran dada pria sehingga bentuknya menyerupai payudara.

Dari web reference:

Breast enlargement in a male. It usually involves only the nipple and nearby tissue of one breast. More rarely, the whole breast grows to a size normal in a female. True gynecomastia is related to an increase in estrogens. Testicular or pituitary-gland tumours commonly cause gynecomastia. Similar conditions (pseudogynecomastia) are caused by excessive body fat, inflammatory disorders, granular lesions, or growth of tumours. Treatment involves hormone therapy, correction of the estrogen disorder, or tumour removal.
Peer comment(s):

agree Catherine Muir : The term 'man boobs' is also used in a non-medical context here in Australia to deride an overweight, out-of-shape man whose chest is saggy and floppy. When Mark Latham was Opposition Leader, the press often made fun of his 'man boobs'.
