Over weight definitely has a negative impact on your back. Means more pressure than necessary that the back has to bear.
Cycling is the best exercise to reduce weight without pressuring joints. Also diet control helps a lot. Back muscle strengthening physiotherapy if not contraindicated helps in back pain. Hope this helps you.
