Hello Senthi Kumar and thank you for posting your query.
Findings in your lower back indicate that you are predisposed to disc prolapse at vertebral levels L4-L5 and L5-S1.
Due to protrusion of the disc at vertebral level L4-L5 there is compression of a nerve root. This compresion may lead to altered sensations in the area where that nerve supplies.
You are overweight for your height. You need to reduce weight.
However, befor undertaking any physical activity please consult an orthopedician for you lower back problem.

I hope my answer is of help to you
