Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As your baby is healthy according to scan report no need to worry. As baby in breech position the upper limbs will be placed at the level of lower abdomen may be because of that you are noticing most movements at that level.
As baby is progressing in size and as the amniotic fluid is little bit less, you may be having slightly lesser movements.
You have to take plenty of oral fluids, arginine sachets etc. to increase the amniotic fluid levels and take sufficient rest.
Take regular antenatal checkups.
