Dull Ache in Right Abdomen

Hi, I've been having a dull ache in the right side of my abdomen for maybe 3-4 months now. It isn't actually pain, in the sense that it "hurts," but I can definitely feel it. If you start from the belly button and move right (medical perspective), that's where it aches. It happens whenever I move, especially when I'm stretching. Actually It's kind of hard to pinpoint exactly where it is. My lower back often aches at the same time it is.

The thing is, I am 18, and the past year has been pretty stressful. I stopped exercising and went from 140 lbs to maybe 160 lbs over the course of 5-6 months. Naturally, I just attributed this pain to "becoming fat." Now I'm trying to figure out what exactly this is. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer. That might explain the back problem, but not the side ache. Can anyone help?

Although this feeling sort of constant, I've noticed that it gets progressively worse throughout the day. For example, I spent my day fine today, and now at 9:00 pm, I'm starting to feel it enough that I would make this post.
