Pain in the back and legs along with a very slim body and prominent veins is often related to low muscle mass, nutritional deficiency or low bone density, rather than a serious disease at your age common causes include protein deficiency, low vitamin D or calcium, anemia, and general deconditioning. I would suggest basic tests like CBC, vitamin D, calcium, vitamin B12, thyroid profile, and if pain persists, an X-ray of the spine. Focus on improving nutrition with adequate protein intake (milk, curd, eggs, pulses, soy, nuts), along with calcium- and vitamin D rich foods with correction of deficiencies and gradual strength gain, symptoms usually improve
