it fixed my [...] pain
Not to detract or invalidate your experience in any way, though it may be worth continuing to address any underlying problems (be they postural, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular etc...).
The increased muscle mass and strength may be masking the problem, and it won't always be there (or it may do - it's a good habit to have, after all).

I'd recommend joining a gym and doing stronglifts 5x5, I struggle to do anything unless its prescribed and easy to interact with. You just use the app to track your workouts and it tells you what weight to use.
It starts off slow, you'll feel stupid for just squatting the bar but a month in you will say to your self "this is fucking hard" when you are trying to do your over head lift with 15kgs on the bar.
I did it for ~12 weeks straight, it fixed my lower back pain which I had spent 100s on physios for. I also lost 10kg and looked really good. 5/5 recommend. I stopped doing it because my gym across the road was rammed 24/7.
