Read and reviewed the query in context to your health issues, which are

More details would be needed,for exploring other possibilities.
My Impression-
In the given scenario,Dear as the lump is soft,small and present since last few yrs, and is hard to find,it mostly is a Lipoma of right thigh.
As such this lump in your case is not to be worried,as its mostly a benign lump-a Lipoma,as its harmless.
You need to just keep a watch on any change in size/ or any added pain in it, in which case you should report to your family doctor or Surgeon,who would assess the physical condition with needful investigations, accordingly.
Do's Suggested-
No need to be concerned to have immediate treatment,as the lump is stable and non-growing Lipoma, in your case.
Options of treatment suggested-
-Keep a watch if it increases in size and report to Surgeon/or family doctor.
-Only in case of increase in size and added pain,you need to Consult with Surgeon and USG study to asses its nature. Surgical Excision Biopsy-is needed only in above situation.
