My Ribcage and Spine Are Visible. Will Fat Transfer Help Hide the Bones?

ribby
I am 5'7" and about 130 pounds. I recently gained about 15 pounds due to starting a new, sedentary job. I thought with the weight gain, my ribs and vertebral processes would be less visible. I have read about fat transfers for other perceived problems. Is there any minimally invasive procedure that would help with my situation? (Picture from before weight gain, but one of the reasons I started looking into ways to correct the problem.)
