It can be due to improper posture. Right left alignment is changed while sitting. So 1 side of muscle can be tight.
Next Steps
Sit in correct posture.
Follow back ergonomics.
Take a walk after every 30 mins of sitting.

Yes, due to improper posture while sitting and for prolonged time will cause pain in one side of thr body.
Need to take breaks every 30-40mins if work is to be done for a long time.
Do regular early morning exercises to avoid pains and muscle tension while sitting or standing for long time.
