Brief Answer:
Gallstones are the most probable reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Such symptoms are very characteristic for gallstones. The pain appears after fatty foods. It tends to radiate to the back or right shoulder. Nausea can appear.

I suggest you to have abdominal ultrasound done. If gallstones are confirmed, laparoscopuc surgery should be scheduled.

Hope this helps.
Regards
