Hi, Dear,Welcome with your query to Chat Doctor. Studied your query in full depth of its details. Reviewed it in context of your health concerns. Based On the facts, You mostly seem to suffer from-Epigastric Hernia with impacted preperitoneal fat or mesenteric fat with Dyspepsia with weight loss, causing the soft lump under your sternum. As this caused bloating /belching/ gaseous problem recently. With this over time, you also lost 30 pounds of weight lately. Weird pain / discomfort is felt while lifting weights or while you pull or push something, which all explains the lump arising out of the defect just below the sternum in your stomach.Thus, your under sternum lump seem to be related and connected to the defect of Epigastric Hernia under your sternum. Other causes need to be ruled out by USG study of the Epigastric Soft Lump under the sternum. And by Second opinion from Surgeon. Hope This reply would help you to plan further treatment soon with your treating doctors. Best of Luck and early recovery. Welcome any further query in this regard, which would be replied in next session. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. N. Senior Surgical Specialist. S. Genl-CVTS
