Hi,
If the lump is noticeable and appears to be growing, I do not think that it is just fatty tissue. Most probably it is a lipoma, which is a benign soft tissue tumor containing fat cells and can be easily removed without any serious issues. But there is also a small possibility that the lump is malignant and so I would advise that you discuss this with your doctor immediately and do the investigations that are advised.
Best wishes.
