common lumps occurring in the back are lipoma( a benign Tumor of fat tissue), sabeceous cyst, neurofibromas .
since your lump moves on touch and is painless, it goes more in favour of lipoma.
no need to get worried as it's a common condition.
look for other swellings similar to this, else where.
consult your surgeon and get it excised and send for biopsy.
