Extra strain is put on the back because of the extra weight that the body has to carry when you are overweight, so if you lose weight from dieting, the back pain will be reduced and at times completely eliminated.
Your blood pressure will also be very high if you are overweight. That is because the heart has to work extra hard to ensure the blood reaches all the areas of the body, because of the extra fat. Dieting would benefit you, as the second the weight is reduced and the fat is reduced, your blood pressure will be lowered.
There are a lot of benefits to decreasing the fat in the body as well as the weight.
