Left ribs sticking out

Hello hoping someone can help, I went to the doctors 2 months ago and was referred to musculoskeletal but awaiting an appointment still.

The bottom of my left ribcage sticks out, I don't notice much discomfort during the day but it causes me grief at night. It's so hard to get comfortable. I've lost around 3 stone in the last year, I'm around a size 10. I didn't notice it until I went on holiday and family spotted it when I was wearing my bikini. Didn't bother me for a while, then it started becoming alot more noticeable! I'm sure it's becoming more noticeable as the weeks pass by waiting for an appointment.

Just wondering if anyone else has this, knows what it is or can advise me.

Thank you
