Bottom case slightly outward?

Should I be concerned about this? I'm not seeing any other issues with my MacBook Pro.

I know the gap is very slight, but I feel like it's getting bigger. It is closer to the headphone jack/ keyboard area rather than the trackpad area. When I press on it, I can feel it shift back to the 'normal' position but it doesn't stay there.

Could this be a sign of swelling (battery?) or could it just be loose/cosmetic issue?

Probable the battery is most likely to cause this case flex due to expansion;

so it'd better be inspected and battery removed/replaced before its worse.
