Your symptoms are consistent with diagnosis of plantar fascitiis. There could be multiple causes. Tight calf muscles, wrong footwear, prolonged standing, obesity. We need to know the cause first. So better to consult a Foot and Ankle surgeon for this. You can connect with me.
Next Steps
Start plantar fascia stretching exercises. Heel lift in both shoes. Ice bottle rolling. Calf stretching

The pain in all probability is due to your tight calf muscle that is causing a tension effect on the heel. I would suggest you to wear heel lift footwear everytime you stand or walk. This will reduce the tension on your calf. focus on your sitting habits as poor and prolonged cross legged sitting can be the cause. Do light calf massage.
Next Steps
we can do teleconsultation to identify the root cause for your calf stiffness and address the same.
Health Tips
the heel lift should be a sloping one like seen in Aerosoft chappals.
