Please consult a Neurosurgeon for Clinical Examination to check (or rule out) instability
Further treatment has to be based on whether there is stability or instability

Hi..Weight is a issue in your case. Slip disc is becoming common in your age. Do not bend forward or lift any heavy weight. Disc slip cannot be reversed completely. Some extension biased exercises should be done under proper guidance of a physiotherapist. Likewise go for core strengthening to avoid recurrence. Exercises are a must for lifetime. Weight managment should be your priority as well.

For spine diagnostics, MRI is necessary...Ensure that you maintain an appropriate posture while working or sitting or walking....Take frequent stretch breaks and drink lots of water...Discontinue using pillow while sleeping straight...Do not lift heavy objects, especially after bending down....Eat a healthy wholesome meal which should satisfy your minerals and proteins requirement...take over the counter pain medications.. Consult nearest orthopedic surgeon they will do the needful
