Brief Answer:
Disc disease present

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Did you have low back before the incident.

The changes in the spine and disc appear to be formed due to long standing problem like spondylosis

Acute worsening or appearance of the pain could be triggered by the trauma occurred due to the injury caused by the weight lifting.

The loss in lordosis can be a temporary chance which could be secondary to muscle spasm but the disc problem appears to be due to long standing spine disease.

There is disc damage not to the extent needing surgery. But a spine surgeon opinion should be sought here. Based on clinical examination the neurosurgeon could be able to decide on the plan of management.

Please do ask if you have any doubts.
