Hello dear
I understand your concern
In the younger age, the breast is composed of glandular tissue
Once you become older glnd convert into the fat.
The presence of scattered fibroglandular densities in the mammogram may be a expected according to age.
But follow up after few weeks to know its behavior.
As it could be due to cyst, fibroadenoma and neoplasia so follow up is required to know any progress.
If you feel any lump then USG guided FNAC is required for better confirmation.
Hope this may help you
