How to fix abdominal separation appearance after TT and MR? (Photo)

Elise0123
I am 7 mpo from a TT, MR and umbilical HR with abdominal lipo. I am not sure why I still have the appearance of a separation between the abdominal muscles above and below the belly button. I had a CT scan to see if it was DR but it stated that they "did not identify rectus diastasis". What do you think could be causing the appearance of a separation and is there anything I can do to have it look like my muscles are closer together? I am 32yrs 5'2'' and 105lbs. Thank you
