Loose skin after tummy tuck - what is going on? (Photo)

Tasteful965525
I got a tummy tuck/bbl at the end of 2022, only recently have I discovered this line above my belly button that is specifically noticeable when I sit down. It was never there before the surgery and was not there last summer. It's not an incision mark or scar, its loose and soft. I have stayed within 10 pounds of the weight I was when I got the surgery. I am so confused as to why this has happened. What is going on?
