Avoid sitting Cross legged.
Avoid Squatting-
Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.
Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day.
Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day.

It seems mostly age related changes in knees .
More weight is definitely an aggravating factor for pain and changes in knees.
Weight reduction and knee muscles strengthening (specially quadriceps ) is important.
Next Steps
Visit some experienced physiotherapist to properly guide you if surgery is the only way or physiotherapy can help and explaoin you the role of physio in your case.

You need to build up your quadriceps (quads) in the front and above your knee. Jogging,running and a bit of physio or gym will help.
