How good is your core strength?
Big waist size is often the cause of back pain.
I ride in an aero, drop bar position without back pain. But that's just me.
6'1", 190lbs with a bit of a gut at age 68. Cycling pretty consistently 35 years.
I have some degeneration between L3/4 and L4/5 that caused me pain at a heavier weight.
