Umbilical Hernia and Diastasis Recti in a Thin Person?

Abby17
I have an umbilical hernia and diastasis recti (two fingers).The thing is I have 110 pounds,71 cms waist and Im a active person.I dont have much loose skin in my tummy so I dont want to get a tummy tuck.I've managed to close my diastasis two fingers in six months I am feeling a slight pain around the navel and I resent the small lump in my belly.Could be repair my hernia and diastasis in the same operation with the incision in my navel? Who could do this operation a general surgeon or a plastic surgeon?
