> Or maybe all your muscle is just turning into fat, which is less dense...

Also impossible.  Muscle doesn't turn into fat, they're completely different things.  Muscle turning into fat is as likely as muscle turning into grilled cheese

He might not, but it's a common myth.  I remember reading an article that manboobs on men were prevalent because so many guys do bench press and when they stop working out their pecs turn into boobs

I didn't. It wouldn't make much sense for your body to digest its muscle and then store the energy as fat, but the net effect would be about the same as muscle atrophy + fat gain (I think?)

So does a guy with small pecs who puts on a lot of weight have the same chance of getting manboobs as a guy with huge pecs who puts on fat? I think this merits further research.
