Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

The information you provided is short of some definite clue-like.
Yet to understand the problem, considering your age of 61, type II Diabetes and the left lower side appears swollen to you., the probable diagnosis can be a diffuse lipomatosis as you are obese and there is no pain or discomfort.

I would advise in such a situation the following:
Get a clinical check-up by a Surgeon to ascertain the causes , get few investigations done to decided whether the surgery will be needed and need to get this done.
