Hot water fermentation twice a day, visit physiotherapy clinic and take IFT+US for 10 days for complete reducing of pain, later with lower back strengthening exercises, you can start your weight loss exercises.

Do not use weights for walking while you have referred leg pain. I suggest that you visit a physiotherapist, get the pain sorted.
