Several options: Different conditions can cause backache, such as muscle weakness/deconditioning, lumbar sprain/strain, early disc degeneration, early arthritis in the spine joints, etc. The good news is, at your age the most likely diagnoses are not serious and will respond to basic conservative treatment including physical therapy and improved body mechanics.
