Your Weight
No matter how big or small your breasts are to begin with, a large proportion of the tissue is made up of fat. So it's no coincidence that your breasts get bigger if you gain weight. Similarly, if you lose weight, your breast size could change too.

Answer: A woman with small or almost no breasts will have a lower body fat than one with large breasts, if all other things are equal, because breasts are at least 80% fat. Your body fat should fall within a healthy range (less than 32%), and beyond that it is a cosmetic and lifestyle issue.
