Hello sir
Firstly I would suggest you to correct your posture and avoid prolonged positions.
Secondly, you need a physiotherapist examination for proper diagnosis and you need electro therapy for pain relief.
Finally, apply hot packs(5-10) min for muscle relaxation.
Note: After pain gets subsided, core needs to be strengthened.
Thank you

You are in choric pain, for now I would suggest not to go for exercise rather first stopping then pain, for that you can use belt regularly, have protein diet, be care fully about your posture, also you can visit physiotherapy clinic for therapeutic modalities, that will help you with pain reduction, after that go for exercises, don't do exercise if you pain increases, also have vitamin d3, and try to relax , as stress also increases the pain perception.
