Avoid sitting Cross legged.
Avoid Squatting-
Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.
Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day.
Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day.

It will be easily managed by a sports physiotherapist ....
Ykur stiffness is due to scar formation around the healed site of ACL ..as it generally happens ..in every post Acl reconstruction case. ..do just felax. .
Next Steps
dry needling at ACL region will help these structures a lot ...along with a physiotherapist should focus few muscles nd tendon like vastus lateralis ,rectus femoris,medialis,ITband ,PAT (pes anserine tendon and bursa )
