Namaste.
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

As You said you have no symptoms, I assume you are not having any backache and lower limb symptoms. Going by your scan report, I feel that it can be conservatively management without surgery.
Avoid bending, inappropriate posture, weight reduction and physiotherapy will help.
Take care
Regards
