What Causes Uneven Ribs?

Hello, I m 25 years old and I have a question regarding unevenness in the ribcage. SInce losing a lot of weight in the last couple of months I ve noticed that my ribcage on the right side is very different from the one in the left side. The left one seems normal in comparison with other people, the right one, while looking the same, feels very different as my hands dip/dive in when when touching it, like there is an indention or something. I ve never felt any pain, discomfort or had any breathing problems, can it be serious? Thank you in advance.
