Given your age, I would suspect that there is nothing wrong with you and that this most likely is your descending abdominal aorta that you are feeling pulsating. One way to check is to count your radial pulse and then put your fingers on your belly to feel the belly pulse and see if its similar to the radial pulse.
This is normal for slim people.
