I used to be a personal trainer, and I have certification in sports and nutrition.

My recommendation is do whatever kind of activities you enjoy most as a start. You don't need to be sport specific oriented.

I'm not sure how your back pain is. If it's a symptom that needs treatment, then seek a physiotherapist.

If it's general you are weak in area and needs to strengthening it up,then consider going to the gym and do some sort of resistance training. Do for example variations of back extensions, barbell good morning, glute bridges, deadlift, etc. Just Google it.

Nutrition is important. if you are serious about dieting, then it should be 100% focus as much as your training.

Get the eating habits correctly first, such as introducing more veggies, proteins and preferable complex carbs. If you wish to eat candies/junk food, then be disciplined. Do it once in a week as a start. That's one way of the strategy to do it.

When you feel the habit is on track, then do calorie counting, and then transitioning to macros counting.
