Hello sir,
Thank you for your question. Badminton is a good sport but it need a lot of stamina. Your weight is a concern for me. In any sport activities, pressure on our knees increases many fold. Proper warmup and stretching can help. Also see the surface on which you are playing. Clay court can help you. Start from small duration of play and increase gradually.
I hope this will help you.
Next Steps
Do proper warmup. Try to reduce weight. Do some strengthning of quards and hamstring.
Health Tips
Take rest and focus on strength
