Part of spine sticking out?

Question

For the past few years, Ive noticed that part of my spine sticks out a bit.

Right where the circled area is. Ive noticed this even when I'm standing up straight or sitting up straight; I can still feel it when I run my fingers along my back. Im not VERY skinny, I'm lean but my bones arent sticking out all over. what should I do? should i be concerned and could this be effecting my height in anyway?

Looks normal to me.  Everyones spines are sticking out, more if you're skinny and still some when you are overweight.  If there is pain there or if you are not comfortable with this answer, it would do no harm to check with your doctor.  I'm sure, after 30 years of working as a Registered Nurse, that nothing is wrong.
