Need imaging: One thought, could be a lipoma Or hernia (easy to distinguish when felt by your physician). This is not something bad. But also we should consider ruling out worst scenario like cancer lesions (from any organ) under belly button area (like stomach or intestine). I would order a CT Abdomen for that.

Hernia: Many people get a hernia in or next to the belly button. It is usually not a serious problem as long as it is not painful and soft. If the site gets red or tender or hard, it could mean a complication that needs immediate attention. Arrange to get checked by your doctor soon.
