HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The ultrasound found mild enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly) with deposition of fat in the liver.
Fatty liver is one of the more common causes of liver disease presently, it may reverse if lifestyle changes are made or progress to inflammation of the liver.
The lifestyle changes would be increased activity and dietary changes such as reduced carbohydrate use.
Divarication of the recti refers to separation of some of the muscles in the abdomen (the rectus abdominus).
An umbilical hernia is a protrusion through a defect in the umbilicus.
The anteverted uterus is not concerning and would not cause any issues.
A uterus can be bulky for different reasons such as fibroids, pregnancy, endometriosis, adenomyosis, molar pregnancy, cancer.
It is possible that the hernia is the cause of your pain particularly since the pain is around the navel.
I hope this helps

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
The pain is more likely coming from umbilical hernia and there is no need to be worried about it. it can be surgically managed but there is no need for emergent procerdure if there is no severe pain with vomiting and nausea. Fatty liver can cause abdominal pain too but it would be chronic and under right rib arch . bulky uterus is common finding and it doesnt indicate anything serious.
Wish you good health".Regards
