Lipoma vs double chin? (Photo)

arae12
Ive had this hard lump directly under my chin slowly getting larger over the last few years. It is easily moved side to side by a gentle nudge and it doesnt hurt. I’m quite small (5’3 / 120 lbs) and it just wont go away no matter what i do. Im very active and only 21. I feel silly seeing my doctor about cosmetic issues but ive been doing some reading and im concerned it might be a lipoma. Just based on this photo do you think i should see my doctor about this?
