Answer:
This is
actually a fairly common problem in men
carrying extra bodyfat or who used to
carry extra bodyfat. Some of the fat ends
up going to the nipple area of the chest,
resulting in what can be described as
"man boobs" (to coin a phrase).
Unfortunately,
spot training (training to lose fat in
one specific area of the body) doesn't
work. That, however, doesn't mean that
you can't fix the problem!
When you
burn fat, the body releases fat from all
over rather than at one specific spot.
This means that when he loses fat, he
is going to see results all over, including
his chest area. It may not happen instantly
but it will happen.
Here are
some articles I've written on fat-burning
that may help him.

As far as
weight training exercises for the chest
goes, I would recommend push-ups if you
are at home and/or bench presses if you
have access to a gym. If you have access
to an incline bench press, that would
be the best as increasing the size of
the upper chest will diminish the appearance
of the lower chest.
Also, if
you have access to equipment such as dumbells
(which are great for using at home), you
can perform bench presses and flyes very
easily - they're both very effective exercises
for working the chest.
The barbell
bench press is going to be one of
your primary exercises.
Doing the
weight exercises won't cause him to lose
fat in the chest area but they will help
build and strengthen the muscle in the
chest area. Building the pecs (especially
the upper pecs) while losing fat will
help to decrease the appearance of "man
boobs.
