What Does A Lump Above The Belly Button Indicate?

Hi, I am a 27 year old male and an avid workout enthusiast. I recently completed a 19 week training program and noticed a lump above my belly button when I pushed inward. It is not protruding outward and does not hurt to touch or move. It also has not limited my range of motion in any manner. Over the course of the week I have rested and the lump has decreased. I initially thought hernia, but could it be an abdominal strain?

HI,Good Evening.
@My current impression of your case is -Epigastric Hernia due to the defect in the Linea Alba,which protrudes due to increased Intra-abdominal pressures during the work out.
-Other possibility could be -Para-umbilical Hernia due to the defect just above belly button
-Pre-peritoneal fat herniation without any entrappment-or/ non-trapped pre-peritoneal fat.
-abdominal strain is the cause of the above three diseases.
I would advise Sports Medicine-doctor-to help you out on the corrective steps to relive of this problem
