This looks like postural back pain. To reduce it try hot pack and some back stretches. I would suggest Physiotherapy would help you more.
As you have sitting job, I would suggest to get up after every 30 to 35 minutes and move around to prevent back pain.
Next Steps
Please consult a physio online or offline
Health Tips
Avoid back bending and heavy weight lifting
