What Could Cause Lump In The Center Of Belly?

I have a lump in the center of my belly. My doctor, whom I have the utmost confidence in, says it s fat tissue . However, I feel the lump is now firmer than it was 6 or 8 months ago. What is a fat-tissue lump? He had a specific name for it, but I forget the word....

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This may be a lipoma.
But a lump in the center of a belly can more probably be due to a hernia.
If the lump reduces on pressure upon it, or on lying down and increases on straining or coughing - this is a hernia.
Needs surgery.
