Could lower abdomen be protruding for reasons other than diastasis recti? (photos)

kelsrosado
My physical therapist told me that my diastasis recti is only one finger width and it is only at the top of my navel. I know I do have a large amount of fat and loose skin below my belly button. I have soreness/ tenderness and a pulling feeling in that lower region from right above my pelvic bone to about an inch below the bottom of my navel. I’ve had 3 cesareans, my question is could this lower area be protruding for another reason, I do have bladder prolapse. 5'7 160lb
