First of all I would dicourage you from taking phentermine as it can lead to serious side effects like Primary pulmonary hypertension and/or regurgitant cardiac valvular disease.
Right upper quadrant discomfort could be because of-
1) In an otherwise normal individual most likely cause is stretching.
2) With a history of malena one has to rule out an ulcer disease and H pylori gastritis
3) Biliary dyskinesia and cholecystopathies where lab abnormalities are found only during pain episodes
4) Chest pathologies like Pulmonary hypertension, pleurisy may rarely cause such pain but are more often associated with respiratory distress and paiful respiration
Hence consult your MD to help you suggest tests to help you differentiate among these
