What type of scar is this? How can this be treated? Is scar revision a good option? (photos)

I got my gallbladder removed, the rest of my scars are flat and light in color except this one. This one is big and has excess skin on top of it that I can pull- it's soft, I had steroid injections to make the scars soft. I am wondering is this considered a keloid scar? How can this be treated? Is scar revision a good option?
