He is beginning in the age of pubery, that is the forming of breast tissue. Normally, he would experience this b4 he turned 15, it should be in a stage of development before anything else because it is the beginning of muscle tissuein his pectoral area... Does he have any pubic hair? If so, than he may have just kicked on the process of muscle growth since  he has started to begin working out...

It could be a cyst.  He should see the doctor to rule out anything more serious.
