Hello,
Looks like there is a knee injury in the soft tissue at the internal structures. Need an MRI to help assess more. As your weight is too high for having good pressure over the knee joint and can lead to a ligament injury and symptoms like pain and swelling.
Using knee cap, diet modification, regular aerobic exercise without troubling the knee joint should help yield good results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
