You will have to lose the fat all over to reduce it on your chest and therefore bring out for muscles and definition more. I'm at high teens BF amnd with the lifting i'm doing now the fat on my chest is getting very noticable. Building up the muscle underneath seems to make it more noticable. Just like with abs, toning can only do so much, even if the muscle is rock hard you can't see jack if it's under a layer of fat.

Try something simple like cutting 500 calories from your diet or adding 10 more minutes of cardio. It sounds like maybe your lower chest or outer chest (if I understand your description) is not as developed as you may like. Work on decline presses to build the lower chest. To work the outer chest, move to a wider grip. These will help development in those areas. However, as Jingo stated, you cannot spot reduce bodyfat. It is simply impossible.
