What Causes A Bump At The Base Of The Skull?

Hello, i have a funny looking curved bump at the base of my neck which was not there before. I always had a nice straight neck/back area. I don t know if this is fatty tissue or it is developing into some kind of permanent hump/bump? I am definitely overweight, too much so, and am currently taking 50 mcg of Levothyroxine for my thyroid. eI am post menopausal and have not gone for any type of osteoporosis testing. Thank you.
