Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

The stomach pain under rib-cage in middle and slightly on the right side with feeling like burping but unable to burp, and bloating can be due to :

Acid Peptic Disease - Gastritis or gastric ulcer.
gall bladder problem.

I would advise you the following:
Start PPI or Ranidine, Domperidone and an antacid gel.
See the results , consult a Doctor.
If no response you have to undergo upper GI Endoscopy and ultrasonography.

The findings will give an idea of further management.
