Is this diastasis recti? (Pic)

NC for this because I'm embarrassed.

This is my tummy. I had a baby 2 years ago. I hate the way it looks and feels.

Is it muscle separation, or normal mum belly?

You can’t tell just by the look of tummy
You need to lie down and feel vertically from your belly button up in a straight line, deep with your fingers, while sitting up slowly as if doing a sit up.
You will feel the muscles pulling together, and how many fingers you can get in the gap, and if there IS a gap , will determine muscle separation, let me know how you get on

You’re looking for a vertical separation, going from tummy button towards between your boobs.
