Hi,
This is a linea alba defect ,epigastric and umbilical hernia that gives this discomfort you describe. The solution is surgery. Until deciding for intervention you should wear an abdominal tight, not eating large quantity in a meal , not lifting weights, to reduce the symptoms of hernia.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
