Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.
Noted you are having fatty liver.
So first possibility is it could be reffered pain from liver or gastric cause.
Second pain could be muscular because of muscle strain by heavy exercise, heavy weight lifting or any unaccoustemed situation.
Third pain could be by costochondritis like condition.
Take rest.
Analgesic for pain.
Avoid heavy work for few days.
Hot compress can taken for pain.
You will recover within few days.
If still complaint increasing then x ray done to rule out rib fracture like condition.
I hope your concern solved.
Take care.
