Thanks for posting your query.

you are suffering from PIVD (prolasped inter vertebral disc) at L4-L5 level. but according to report their is no significant nerve compression ,so you don't require surgery but to be confirmed by clinical examination.

to get rid from this problem you can go for some medication, phisiotherapy and some of the precautions.

precautions to be followed are :-
* first don't lift weight
* avoid jerky movements of spine

*do regular spine exercise

Hope I have answered your query.
