Hey y'all
I've been self conscious about my pec size for probably 20 years now. I feel my pecs are far bigger and overworked than the rest of my upper body, it started in college when I began a pushup regiment but that was the only exercise I did, I probably did 100 pushups a day. I'd love some advice on what I could do to balance out my physique!

I don't see it myself but we all have a touch of body dysmorphia. You more you look in the mirror, the worse it becomes.
The obvious answer is to train your whole body. Do you have a current routine that does that? Losing fat can also balance out the physique because it can sometimes be down to the genetics of fat distribution.

Thank you for your reply. I agree and I look in the mirror far too often, many times each day analyzing my body. I can't say I have a current routine, it's not very structured at least. I work from home and try to get in 45 minutes of physical activity every morning through a combination of yoga, stationary bike, jogging and lifting. When I say lifting I mean using a sand bag ,kettlebell and pullup bar for various exercises. I have tried recently to focus more on back exercises in an attempt to balance out my chest but that was very recently. Any recommendations for a full body routine? I can do my own research as well.

Try to get a barbell as a minimum level of equipment. If you have the space, a full power rack with pullup bar and bench is ideal.
If not, pick something for all major bodyparts from this:
