For your age, there is not much need of calcium supplements unless there is a serious deficiency of calcium in the body.. If you want to take, there are lots of options.. You can start with Calcium Citrate  or Calcium Orotate preparation once daily for 1 to 2 months.. Also start with Vitamin d supplement 60k weekly for 8 weeks..
Next Steps
Also start with exercises especially back strengthening exercises for strengthening the lower back muscles..
Health Tips
Avoid heavy work,  avoid sitting down,  avoid Indian toilet..
