As you probably know it is imperative that you lose weight. It is not easy but essential. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Consider your body position and this may be pressure on your back. Consider side sleeping or pillow under your knees.

Best to have your doctor get involved, as your description raises a concern, per my experience, of potential Restless Leg Syndrome. Agree with need for weight loss, but reaching a full diagnosis is imperative to handle this successfully.
