Brief Answer:
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
So no need to worry much.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest and back.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Please let me know if you are active smoker.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

No need to worry for cancer or tuberculosis.

I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for cancer or tuberculosis as you are gaining weight.
In my opinion, you should try to reduce weight because obesity can cause this type of musculoskeletal pain.
