This bump on my back is because of scoliosis ?

Hi! I'm 16 years old, and two years ago I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis, about 12.5°, and a bone growth of 4/5. I had really bad posture at the time, so it was assumed that was the cause of the scoliosis. The doctor said to come back in a year for a check-up and to do exercises to strengthen my back. I did these exercises for a few months, and I started to stand up straight and I didn't have any pain, so I thought everything was fine. I didn't go back to the doctor and I stopped the exercises (which was kind of dumb). Then I forgot about the problem. But yesterday I noticed this bump on my back. It doesn't hurt, and it's hard. It looks like a bone that's popped out a little. I'm wondering if it's because my scoliosis is getting worse or something else, because now I'm starting to regret taking my scoliosis so lightly. (The bump is in the upper right of the pictures.) Thanks for your answers!
