This lower back routine might be suitable for you: http://www.perfect-body-toning.com/exercise-for-lower-back.html
It strengthens, sculpts and defines your lower back so it becomes stronger to give you better support to your torso and spine.
Since lower back and upper back are connceted and in your condition, I would say it’s best to do upper back exercise too, to build up your back strength.
Here’s an upper back routine:

Do these 2 routines 3-4 times per week for 10-15 mins per session.

It is VERY easy to injure yourself when doing lower back exercises. You should join a gym, if only for a month, to get the proper instruction and techniques to do what you are looking to do. Most gyms will provide you with 1 -2 personal training sesssions free of charge when you sign up.
