By the symptoms it looks like you have posture issues and mechanical type of back pain.
Proper clinical examination will help evaluate your back muscles in a proper manner and then appropriate treatment can be given.

From available information it seems to be due to abnormal spine posture, mostly during your work hours. Correction of the same should solve the issue.
For an accurate diagnosis, a detailed assessment with clinical examination and proper history followed by appropriate investigations is needed.
Next Steps
For the treatment or medicines, visit nearest orthopedic surgeon or consult me online.
