Pain+strain in lower back

Question

Asked for Male, 28 Years

Its been months since i have been suffering from pain in lower back. I am a software engineer and have to sit on a chair for an average 10 hours a day. I tried to fix the pain through some stretching exercises, but no improvement. Its all started 6-7 months when i joined a new company and i have felt that the chair we use in the office is not that supportive to the back and puts strain in the lower back region. I am worried that it might not have turned into a permanent situation. Need to know what should i do?
