Brief Answer:
Electrical muscle stimulation therapy can help

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthCareMagic. Obesity is an underlying cause behind a lot of noncommunicable diseases. For fat accumulation to occur, the amount off energy taken in through food has to be greater than the amount of energy expenditure. What you eat is unimportant. You know well that unless you control the amount of food intake, nothing can happen. On the other hand, you need to increase the amount of energy you spend.
Get your thyroid profile checked if not done already.
Giving you a diet plan is meaningless and hence I am skipping it.
Unless you control your weight, there can be no control over the backache. Hot compress may give you some relief.
Obesity is a lifestyle disease and only you yourself can control it.
Electrical muscle stimulation therapy which is available at many slimming centres, should be helpful for you. Go for inch reduction plans rather than weight reduction plans.

Hope that answers your query. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
