Why Do Lumps Appear On Stomach?

I have a small soft bulge in stomach 1inch Ive had for 5 months mainly felt when stood up, I do a lot of exercise and think it could be a injury? I saw a doc who said it was nothing but it hasn't gone away , it feels smaller than when first felt but hasn't gone away

Lipoma do not change the size.

If the lump increases on standing stooping, coughing and reduces on lying down , it should be taken as a Hernia,
