Is this scar tissue or fat? (Photo)

Ashj889
Hi I had liposuction done about 3 years ago now and I've noticed when I pull my skin tight I can see some lumps under the skin. They don't feel completely hard and have a bit of give in them. When I pinch them they hurt a little bit. I'm wondering if this could be scar tissue that can be treated or is this fat that will go away with additional weight loss? Thank you
