Dear patient, this is most probably extra breast fat tissue. But an ultrasound of both breasts needs to be done and you need to consult a breast surgeon for physical examination. Surgery is usually not required but breast surgeon opinion is a must. Change your undergarments size to match your size increase due to weight gain.
