What Causes Swelling On The Left Side Of Love Handle?

Well I just took a bath and my girlfriend noticed that my left side in the area of my love handle is swollen compared to my right side. I m not currently experiencing any pain. I m not sure what would cause this to be enlarged. Any idea what could potentially cause this?
