Hello, I would like to know if I have Diastasis Recti?

Noun
I am 44, never had children. Since i was 15 I am regularly exercising but always had a loose belly, and a chronic back pain with no medical interpretation. Between my 15's and 18's I have worn a gaine. Now I have a PT and my belly is getting less flat, and my waist is getting larger!. I am considering to stop training because I think I have (and always have had) diastasis recti, is my hypothesis possible? ps. my weight is a bit above normal, always has been so, but not overweight. Thank you!
