Unlikely to be bad: But see your doctor and be examined. Do to your age, it's highly unlikely it's breast or other cancer, but the lump should be examined and evaluated. Make an appointment.

See your doctor: Benign breast lump can happen at your age but since you feel something and that you have a family history you should have your doctor examine you and send you for a mammogram. Because of your age and dense breast, best imaging modality could likely be an ultrasound or an mri. If they find it concerning, a biopsy of the lump will be the next step.
