I was taking my dogs out to the bathroom in my backyard and previous that morning she got out an i didn't know. So later that night like at 8:00 pm i went back outside to take the dogs to the bathroom and i seen her creeping back on to the porch. She is 9 months old and when she came back in the house she looked a little larger and she had lumps in her stomach and now her nipples are becoming visible also she doesn't really like me touching her belly is she pregnant.

Yes, she is almost surely pregnant yes.  All fertile female cats, allowed to go out, gets pregnant sooner or later.  Even the very young ones.

Although this her being mated didnt happened this morning, it happened at least one months earlier.

As you dont sound eager to have kittens.  A experienced vet can probably spay and abort them right now.  Not so pleasant, but medically speaking it can be done without problems.   The kittens cant survive until about 2 days of their expected delivery (unlike human babies), so such a spaying isnt as bad as it sounds.

But if you want  kittens, its just to begin and prepare her and yourself.

Continue with reports and questions!

Good luck!

If yesterday was the first time she got out, she wouldn't be showing yet ;). But she was almost certainly mated---this is mating season so even if you didn't notice her in heat I'm sure she got up to something. If she has gotten out previously she could be showing by now.

If you don't want kittens, have her spayed immediately. If you do want kittens, talk to the vet about prenatal care.
