~ Hi ~ I'm guessing it's more prominent because you are of thin build. That often is the case, the thinner we are the more prominent our bones are. If this is a painful condition, I would recommend have a spinal X-Ray that encompasses your entire spine and maybe your Doctor can offer some ideas why this area is sensitive.

It could have to do with the way you're sitting. If you're spending a lot time on the computer that could be putting pressure on the area and causing it to be tender. When you are in a relaxed position, you may just want to try icing it. That will offer pain relief and help any inflammation that my be occurring.

I know when my son is on his laptop he sits back (in what looks to me) to be a very awkward position, putting ALL his weight on his tailbone. Maybe, you're doing something like that and don't realize it? Just be conscious of these things that could be aggravating it.

I hope you get relief soon! =)
