“Klinefelters or not?”
I’m not sure if I have klinefelters, or if it’s just that I am overweight that I have big breasts. I just started puberty like four months ago and still have little body hair so I’m confused.

Please ask your parents to take you to a pediatric endocrinologist in order to have a full professional evaluation.
It is difficult to diagnose Klinefelter before puberty. Usually puberty is delayed in these cases. The definitive test is chromosomal analysis. In the meantime I strongly recommend that you exercise your upper body and decrease your carbohydrates as being overweight at age 14 is almost normal today; it is still unhealthy
The best way to find out if you have Klinefelters syndrome is to schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss it. Common findings are flat feet, tall stature, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning problems, small testicles and small penis. People with Klinefelters also commonly suffer from anxiety. The definitive test is a chromosome analysis.
