Hello and welcome to HCM,
A MRI of the hip region should be done to know the type of lesion in the buttocks.
The swelling or enlargement could be a cyst or soft tissue swelling.

Since, buttocks have good amount of muscle mass and fat, lesions associated with muscles and fat tissue are suspected.

In case a cyst is confirmed, excision of the cyst can be done.
In case of any other soft tissue swelling, appropriate management can be planned.

Consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.

Thanks and take care
