Hello,
Could be related to a strained muscle and lack of regular physical activity, especially considering the fact that you are overweight.
Coming to this point, I recommend having some rest and taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the pain.
If this problem repeats, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
