Did my weight cause this to happen to the back tire?

When I got off my bike earlier I noticed on the back tire what looks like some of the tire coming out from the rim. I was kind of shocked because the bike is brand new and I have not sat on the bike for more than 10 minutes yet. I am 6' 2" and weigh 243 pounds (about 250 clothed) and the bike weight limit is 250 pounds. I couldn't think of what could have caused this. I have both tires inflated to 43 PSI as the tires say. I deflated the tire, pushed it back in and inflated it back. Most of the tire is back in now but it kind of seems like it might do it again. What should I do to make sure this doesn't happen or cause anything else to happen? I have to have this bike in working condition on March 28th and the last thing I need that day is flat tires.
