Exercises will definitely help u to gain strength of ur core muscles. Advised to first go for proper assessment by consulting a physiotherapist and once pain subsides u can have a guided gym session by only a professional

No..you can't. First examine the core muscle .
Which muscle should be tight and which muscle should weak. Afterwards strengthen your muscle and stretch your tight muscle. Once your core muscles strengthen then increase slow slow exercises further.

There is lack strength in your back muscle and imbalance between your core.
Consult a good physio and have a good assessment then only you can go to gym after taking proper exercise protocol from physio

As you are already suffering with the back pain, it is not advisable to start gym.
First reduce the pain, get proper assessment as why the pain is and get treatment, then you can start the gym.
Consult online/offline for proper assessment, get proper treatment, reduce the lower back pain then go for the exercises.

You can't perform all the activities. But you can do exercises that don't stress your back. But treat your back 1st as your pain subsides, continue to exercise with lower intensity and then after 1-2 weeks return to your original pace.
Next Steps
I would suggest that treating your back should be your priority rather than going to the gym.
Health Tips
Don't do activities that will increase your pain. Also don't bend and pick up weighted stuff.
