32, female. Best options to reduce fat bulge on rib flare area? (Photos)

Hi, I’m a 32 year old female looking for advice on what kind of procedure could help with stubborn fat pockets over my rib flare area. I have a naturally short torso and have always struggled with this-- whether I’ve gotten leaner or gained weight, the bulge in this area stays the same. It doesn’t respond to diet or exercise and creates a noticeable protrusion that makes me feel self-conscious, especially in bras and bikinis. Bras tend to push down on the fat, making it more visible, but it’s still there even without them. I’d love to know what procedures (surgical or non-surgical) might help flatten or contour this area. Thank you! :)
