Ergonomics correction is also important as muscle will take time to balance but it will improve day by day if you use correct biomechanics and erganomics.

Hi
these pains and stiffness is common among sitting jobs and students studying for long hours or may be playing games on phone/pc. But the thing is you need to correct your posture, have frequent breaks and take time for exercises. and it wont take much time for its reversal, passive therapy like back support is never answer for young chap like you.
Next Steps
Fitness is everyday job, not one off task. schedule your fitness plan to last lifelong, enjoy healthy life.

Use ergonomic chair if you are sitting for prolong time or wear posture correction belt to maintain upper back posture.
To reduce pain as of now visit nearby physiotherapy clinic and take electrotherapy for 3 days.
Later with strengthening exercises it can be balaced and try to maintain proper posture.
