You need to be careful as you have Disc Bulge with thecal indentation.
You can try non surgical options i.e. medicine, weight and posture correction. If you have Abdomen bulge than you need to work to strengthen your abdominal wall muscles. Generally with medicine, weight and posture correction symptoms come under control and disc bulge gets corrected.
