Pulsations: It is likely pulsations from your abdominal aorta. In some one who is slender that isn't uncommon.

Likely not: If you are 6 feet tall & 150 lbs you are fairly slender & the abdominal aorta pulse can be easily seen/felt sometimes in certain positions. Most likely this is normal, but the next time you see your Dr for any reason it would be worth asking the Dr to check it. An aneurysm could do that but would be relatively unlikely in your age group
