It could be fat. You appear to be overweight. Figure out your BMI and try to get it to be less than 25. BMI calculator https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm

Since the apparent swelling is bilateral and if symmetrical, soft or fluctuating, in my experience it is most often fullness seen in overweight people or in presence of emphysema. I'm confident that you can be reassured that your supraclavicular pattern is more of a fullness or tenting rather than pathological swelling,especially since you've been evaluated by a few physicians and/or specialists.
