Horizontal stomach crease? Tummy tuck? Stomach band / muscle issues / separation? (Photo)

Cassied92
I've had this crease above my stomach since birth. 2 1st pics are normal, the last 3 are hunched over pushing stomach out. When I'm skinner it’s not AS bad but still obvious I have a separation of the upper and lower stomach. Never been pregnant only 25 years old. The stomach has always been an issue. Do I need a tummy tuck to fix the muscles or the stomach band? I’m still really not THAT chubby, but the uneven stomach makes me appear bigger than my 120 weight.
