What Causes Bulge With Sporadic Pain And Tenderness In Upper Right Quadrant?

I have a bulge with sporadic pain & tenderness (worsens as my day progresses) in my upper right quadrant. I'm waiting results of blood work but wondering what it might be. I have a history of constipation, diverticulitis, am a smoker & history of alcoholism. I'm 58 y.o. Thanks for any feedback what it might be.
