If you haven't still got it checked, first ensure that your daily physical activity is well regulated for one week.
Continue basic mobility while balancing with rest and enough sleep. 10-15 minutes of moderate temperature hot water bag before sleep may help during this period.
If this doesn't show some improvement in one week, consult a specialist.

I want to know if you have tried any treatment for your pain i.e. Any medication or other treatment.
If not, then you can try taking hot pack for 15 mins 2-3 times a day.
If you have taken any treatment, then i need to know about it also.
Next Steps
See if your pain gets a bit better with hot pack. Otherwise consult with an orthopedician or physiotherapist near you.
Health Tips
After walking up try to move your legs up and down and then only get up from your bed.

Since your back pain has been there for more than six months,I would recommend you to take a MRI LS spine to rule out the cause of your pain.
You should consult a physiotherapist or orthopaedist for complete assessment and treatment.

Change the position of the mattress, apply diclofenac ointment and do hot water fermentation twice a day for 15mins.
Its good that the pain is not radiating but as per your age, height and weight you need to reduce little weight to avoid pressure on lower back, knee and ankle joints which in future may causes pains.
Do light stretching exercises before apply hot pack, if you wont find any improvement in 2 days then visit nearby physiotherapy clinic and take Ultrasound therapy for 3 - 4 days.
