Dude you have to exercise and stretch. I actually went to a “movement specialist” personal trainer for a couple of sessions and that helped a lot. My near constant back pain is non-existent now.
Good suggestions, the key is to break a sweat as many days as you can, consistently and sustainably.
Another option is taking tai chi, yoga, or shotokan with a good instructor; good instructors can be hard to find though.
All three of those have really helped me at different times, particularly with posture and movement (tai chi the most, but it takes the longest to actually be able to do it).
Never done Pilates but I’ve heard very positive things about it.
Yes, Pilates is great! Still need to find a new course for after work (old one is not campatible with my work hours anymore), but at least 34 km on 3 to 4 days by bike is my current workout. Don’t do home office unless you use the time saved for something like Pilates, jogging or other recommandations from above.

Personal trainers are awesome. If you can’t afford one:
find a friend to work out with. Preferably at your same physical level. Look for workouts or support online.
get as much medical care as you can afford. A lot of small problems in your 30s can turn into big problems in your 40s.

Pilates taught me how weak all my smaller stabilizing muscles are
