Healthier living: Weight loss and exercise are important in managing chronic low back pain. Very difficult to do, but it is possible. Seeing a physical therapist and nutritionist maybe the first start. Your gola with exercise is to re-align your postural mechanics or posture. Capcaicin over the counter may be helpful, with nutrition and good sleep hygiene. See your doctor, there are options.

Core Exercises: Typically core strengthening exercises are the best to help relieve pressure and forces in the spine. I would try and google some or look them up on youtube to see descriptions. If you can do them yourself, wonderful otherwise ask your doctor to get a referral to a good physical therapist for further assistance.
