Welcome hopeful,
From age 16 to 21, the milk ducts grow because of your body's own estrogens. The milk ducts push the nipples out, so the puffy look is normal for your age. Regular periods are the best remedy: in the two weeks before your period, your body will produce progesterone, which develops the milk glands and alveolas, and rounds your breasts out.
You already did the best thing you can do: improve your diet. You can also add protein. You can add a multivitamin. Together with your diet, you should get
> 50 mcg vitamin B12
2-10 mg vitamin B6
400 mcg folic acid or folates
25 mg iron if you have regular periods
12-35 mg zinc
Massage or exercise will help too. I don't mean competition sports, but walking and push ups. Another thing you could do is go on a combination birth control pill, but at your age, a good diet, multivitamin, and exercise will do more. Things like Wonderup are more likely to stop your growth, mess up your cycle, and give you headaches and more puffy areolas.
Good luck
