Brief Answer:
Gallstones can be the reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Right side stomach pain radiating to the back is a very characteristic symptom of gallstones or pancreas issues. As you are obese person, the risk of gallstones is high at your case.
I suggest you to have abdominal ultrasound done which should confirm this diagnosis. If no stones will be found, gastroscopy should be considered as peptic ulcer can give similar symptoms.
For pancreas diagnosis abdominal CT is a good idea as well as blood work.

Hope this helps.
Regards.

Stones can be in bile ducts.

Detailed Answer:
Still there can be a stone in bile ducts. As you have had stones already, for sure you have the tendency for another stones. So an ultrasound is a good idea for sure.
