With 5’2 feet height you are overweight !! Improve your diet for weight loss !! your right side hip bone seems to be malaligned/dysfunctional since you have multiple PIVDs at lumbar region !! And of course all these dysfunctions and poor alignment is credited to your poor muscle strength and conditioning !!
Next Steps
Consult a good physiotherapist expertise in manual therapy / osteopathy for inominate correction and undergo guided rehab for 2-4 months !!
Health Tips
Have patience and work on your self holistically !! You will be fine soon !!
