Physical therapy. A physical therapist can instruct you in a series of exercises to stretch the plantar fascia and achilles tendon and to strengthen lower leg muscles, which stabilize your ankle and heel. A therapist might also teach you to apply athletic taping to support the bottom of your foot. Apply ice over the area.

It can be due to your overweight you should be around 72 kg at this height. Anyways for treatment of it go for contrast bath daily for 2 weeks regularly wear shoes having very soft insole you can buy gel insoles or heel cups and do streching excercise of calf muscle. I hope if you do it properly your pain will go away in 2 weeks.
