That is a trick of the lighting. The same 'bulge' is on the opposite side as well. I believe you will find that to be the main landing gear bay.

It may not be as obvious due to the lighting, but there is a matching bulge on the opposite side. I believe it is relief for the landing gear. It can be seen on the gear door in this photo:
