The best way is doing exercises for your lower & upper back. These belts help to give you feedback when you go in wrong posture but otherwise of limited use. To start with, do 10 suryanamaskar.
Next Steps
Consult a physiotherapist and learn the exercises. you might need to undergo supervised sessions of exercises for best results
