Temporary muscle pain upon sitting up can be benign. If the pain continues, comes and goes, or you notice other symptoms such as blood in stool or fever, you should be seen in an in person urgent care or ER to rule out more serious conditions. Being overweight puts additional stress on local muscles and can cause muscle strains to occur more easily.

Most likely you have used some muscles you have not used recently and you are sore from this. Review your actigities over last few days: lifting. exercising, working in yard or GERD. Your body is talking to you. Listen and take good notes. Share with your Dr.
